Seems like much ado about nothing.
Sam was a good enough college player (SEC Defensive Player of the Year co-winner with CJ Moseley) that he was going to get a look with one or more pro teams regardless of scouting conventional wisdom. Moseley was a first round pick.
I actually think that’s the funniest part of it all. All that effort to get drafted and he just gets cut without playing one snap.
Surprised to read that this was something new. Remember reading the exact scenario when Hard Knocks was in the process of choosing/forcing a franchise to be part of the show. The spin then was that they declined St Louis because it wouldn’t be fair to Sam to put that kind of pressure on him.
Actually the funniest part was Sam's reaction to being cut. But then again this is a guy who thought he should have gone in the first round when the only reason why he went in the seventh round of the draft is because they don't have a eight round.
