The Rams kept 5 DE the year he was cut.
You're missing my point. He's not the first DE that hasn't looked good in shorts doing LB drills. Far from it of course. There are a bunch of those guys playing in the league now, and they weren't the DPOY in the SEC. As it was, his deficiencies were scrutinized heavily where had he just been Dam the football player they would have barely registered.
Fringe roster guys aren't allowed to be stories off the field. It's no different than someone with legal issues. He just happened to be the biggest story off the field...frick, maybe ever. He was good enough to play. He just wasn't good enough to be gay and play. Too many guys that are close ability wise that don't have Oprah wanting to do a training camp documentary on them.
If you think he's NFL career is as simple as "he can't play" then you are being incredibly naive. Sorry.

I could see that the microscope got bigger after he came out. I'll concede that. I didn't know the Rams kept 5 DE that season. Dallas should have traded for one of them lol.
