Colin Cowherd talked about this a few days ago on his show. A caller was asking him about it and Colin basically said that being gay has nothing to with it. He was a really good college player but that doesn't mean that he is really draftable since he is more of a betweener type player that has no real role in the NFL and shite his britches at the combine. Couple that with the fact that NFL teams are weary of media machine players after Tebow bounced around the league.



This. Some successful college players just don't fit in well in distinctly defined NFL schemes. Plus, the guy chose to make a spectacle of himself and there's probably a lot of owners who don't want the controversy and potential disruption to their team chemistry.

I'm not sure that this is accurate. The word is that he was going to be outed and he decided to control the narrative and release it himself.

This isnt accurate. I originally held this opinion as well, but he was going to be outted and he decided to get out in front of it.
