Michael Sam, the NFL’s first openly gay player before being drafted was cut by the team that drafted him in the 7th round, the St. Louis Rams. Talk to any expert about only football, and they all say pretty much the same, it would be difficult for Sam to make the Rams.
Last year the Rams were one of the top teams in sacks, 3rd with 53. The Rams were already deep with talent with defensive ends. There was no guarantee that Sam would even make the team. So when he was cut it surprised no one except the left-wing media.
