1. I think his stats were inflated due to big numbers against poor OL's and his performance at the combine shows he possesses below-average lower body power and speed. Basically I don't think he's all that good.



This x 1000. You take out Vandy, Arky St and UF, none with dominant OTs, and Michael Sam had like 1.5 sacks and 2.5 TFL. Not SEC POY #s and not draftable numbers. Add in his combine #s and he doesn't deserve to get drafted over guys like Jeffcoat from UTx

2. He's gay. I don't mean this in the "I'm against gay individuals and gay lifestyle/marriage/etc..." I'm pro gay marriage and don't care what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home.


Nobody gives a shite about this 2 years from now. He will just be the gay guy

I think you give them too much credit, it will always be a lingering liability. Sam will carry with him a media circus like that of Tebow and he will until he leaves the league or someone that is a better player comes in to carry the torch.
