Michael Sam on playing football: “I’m going to give it one more shot”

We haven’t heard much from former Rams draft pick Michael Sam since he left the CFL under dubious circumstances last summer.

But the former Missouri defensive end apparently hopes to play again.

In response to a question on Twitter yesterday about continuing his playing career, Sam said “I’m going to give it one more shot.”

It’s unclear if that’s a plan or a wish, as no one has documented interest in bringing him aboard.

When he left Montreal last year, he said it was because he wasn’t getting better as a player, and that his goal remained to work in the NFL. But other than a stint on the Cowboys practice squad after the Rams cut him in 2014, no one has volunteered to help his campaign to become the first openly gay active player in the NFL. A pedestrian workout at the NFL’s veteran combine last spring didn’t help, either.

And if he isn’t on a roster in the next few months, it’s hard to see where he might be taking that last shot.

Better to be over ready for the last go around.

I would immediately hire a trainer for NFL players, and put my whole heart into that process.

He will never play in the NFL. Frankly I think he is getting bad advice. Because he was awful at that vet combine last year. Maybe the CFL but that is questionable.

Its his last real chance to get some media attention . . . . . . .

yea, he should have gone the CFL route. play good enough there and you'll get a shot. after sitting out a few years, no chance that happens now.

He's delusional if he thinks there's any chance this happens after the nonsense he pulled in Montreal.

I wish the media would leave his sexual orientation alone. It has nothing to do with his ability as a player.

We get it. He likes other men.

It wouldn't make him a better player or help him join an NFL roster if he liked women.
