Michael Sam, the NFL's first openly gay player, has been named one of GQ's Men Of The Year as it emerges he could be recruited into the Arena Football League by Mötley Crüe front man Vince Neil.
Sam, 24, made history this year when he was drafted into the NFL's St Louis Rams after publicly revealing he is gay.
But he has yet to play a regular season game as he was dropped by the Rams in August, snapped up by the Dallas Cowboys days later, only to be dropped again in October, having never made it out of the practice squad.
His first signing prompted a letter from Barack Obama congratulating the NFL on 'taking an important step forward today in our Nation's journey' by drafting a gay player.
The latest potential lifeline for Sam, who has yet to play a regular season game, comes as Mötley Crüe's Neil builds the franchise's first ever squad for their debut season in 2015. Deemed to be too small to play defensive end in the NFL, the smaller scale of Arena Football could play to Sam's strengths. The singer told the Las Vegas Review Journal he plans to make the offer in the coming days. It is unclear whether Sam plans to accept the offer.

How can he be an NFL player if he never played a minute in a real game?
A man? I would think not.
I always laugh at guys that read that trash like it isnt a metrosexual version of Cosmo.
How soon before the NFL sends out the homo cheerleaders squad dressed like girls?
How soon before the Superbowl game half time show has homo men dressed as women having “wardrobe malfunctions”?
How soon before a NFL player stops the game because he broke a nail?
The possibilities are endless and makes me want to never watch football again.
His sexual proclivities aside, the AFL is probably the level of football that is equivalent to his talent and abilities. From there he might be able to show sufficient improvement to join an NFL team next year, or not; it would be like a basketball player opting to go to Europe, or into the CBA, in the hope of improving enough for a chance at the Big Time.
“So I guess now for anyone to gain attention or notoriety, they just have to say that they like pounding dudes (or getting pounded) in the rear??”
The mouth. Don’t forget the mouth.
What’s a GQ? General Quarters, or Go Queer?
A guy who fails to make the NFL and his only claim to fame is that he is gay? That’s all he has done? That qualifies for one of the Men of the Year?
How low have we gone?
GQ = Gays and Queers.
Or so I assumed, the first time I saw a copy about 15 years ago.
How gay.
The thing he seems most proud of in his life, that he has done, is to commit perverted sex acts with other men.
That's just pathetic.
Wouldn’t it be more appropriate if he were in Cosmo?
Look for Mike Sam on the sidelines wearing a HE LICK ME jersey.
Does a guy who never actually made a team really count as an NFL player?
“Do you speak Canadian?”
Further proof gayness is all about the need for ATTENTION!
That should end any doubt about GQ being a magazine for real men.
Seems appropriate that a queer should adorn the cover of a queer magazine (GQ - Go Queer).
I see what you did there.
