How Current Players may react privately: Although publicly most players are saying all the right things, Ryan Clark of the Steelers brought up a good point about what goes down in the locker-room. Ryan wants to know where the lines will be with Mr. Sam in his locker-room. He said, âWhat are the things you can do and say around him that won't make him uncomfortable?â
Other questions players will privately ask themselves (and each other): Will I shower when he is showering? Will I sit next to him on the plane? Will I room with him during camp for 3 weeks? Will I room with him for away games? Do I want my locker next to his? Will I be comfortable naked around him? Although there are plenty of evolved renaissance men currently in the NFL who are comfortable in their own skin, I believe most will still answer âNOâ to these player questions.
The media wants Michael Sam to be drafted and drafted high. They want to follow this story, create new wrinkles to it, get reactions from it and monitor the players, coaches and owner who eventually drafts or signs him as a free agent. My fear for Mr. Sam is that, for most team execs, he may be too much of a hot potato for most front offices to want to deal with.
