Good for him for being the first football player to come out of the closet while still in the middle of their football careers. Unless of course you think he's the first ever gay NFL player.
Uh no, then he can say the teams that passed on him were homophobes. As politically correct as we are this should guarantee him being the first pick in the draft now. lolProbably going to hurt his draft stock
You could always be a closeted hetero if you really want.joffer said:Damn right. I wish I was gay.Good for him for being gay?Good for him.
It can't help. There is a potential media circus following him and teams have to value the distraction that causes against his perceived talent/potential.Probably going to hurt his draft stock
Maybe not. Teams are always looking for good ball handlersProbably going to hurt his draft stock
Sadly, this sounds accurate. I have absolutely -- and never really have had -- any problems with male homosexuality, but this can't make it easier for him.It can't help.

UFAWell that's just fabulous!
What round was he predicted to go in?
CNNSI reported a bunch of anonymous NFL execs who said it'd drop his stock from 3rd round to 7th, if draftable at all. Mostly because they're so worried about the media circus they'd be drafting along with him, as well as how it might mess with an NFL locker room chemistry.UFAWell that's just fabulous!

J/K, I saw somewhere in rounds 3-4, who knows what this type of information does as far as impact. Be interesting to see what players say in the NFL…countdown to some knucklehead saying "I hope we don't draft him"
Most whites were intolerant of blacks back in 1947. That didn't stop the Dodgers though...Summer Wheat said:Plus most blacks are very intolerant on homosexuals.

I've found that stereotype to be more generational and regional, not to mention due to religion. It's different with the younger crowd, across all racial lines. Radically different.Summer Wheat said:Plus most blacks are very intolerant on homosexuals. ADP is already on record "No homo"It can't help.

I think that's a bad racial stereotype and here's why. They make up a large % of the NFL, much larger than say the US population so of course it might seem they are intolerable because they make up the largest % of players but in actuality the % of those players is probably low or in line with intolerance by white people of homosexuals…I might have missed it but I don't know many evangelical churches(largely white) where they are welcome with open arms.Summer Wheat said:Plus most blacks are very intolerant on homosexuals.

One NFL exec says the league ain't ready.
This is so true, and I hate New England. But if anyone can handle this, it's Kraft and BB. Do. your. job.Seems like the type of player BB would draft in the 5th or 6th round because there is value there. My guess is the Pat's locker room could handle it and the media circus wouldn't be a distraction. If having their TE get arrested for murder was easily handled, having this kid on the team wouldn't be an issue.
On the other hand, it quotes the GM of the CFL's Saskatchewan RoughRiders as intrigued by his length.https://twitter.com/sipetethamel/status/432688791112138752One NFL exec says the league ain't ready.Uh no, then he can say the teams that passed on him were homophobes.

No way it hurts him. If his draft projection says 3-4th round, he will go late 2nd, The NFL is too PC now. There will be teams tripping over themselves to try to draft him. The NFL is not ready for him? Bull####.He'll drop in the draft because certain teams are too scared, then he'll get scooped up by the Patriots or some other "progressive" team and he'll end up being the steal of the draft.

But the media would be in their back pocket....How do you think this doesn't hurt him? Every GM is terrified about what this will do to the locker room, the sideshow circus, etc.
No GM wants a Tebow like frenzy on top of a divided locker room.

$100....we get an average draft projection from several sources a couple weeks prior to the draft and see where he goes.

No because his coming out will be factored into what. Tell me where you think he will go now because of all the teams will be tripping over themselves to be PC enough to have the first gay player?

How the heck can they factor that in? He is going to be judged by his performance in combines and he will be slotted based on his skills/performance, The projection is not going to factor in his gayness. His actual draft position will be a about 1/2 round better then scouts project..No because his coming out will be factored into what.
