Michael Sam 'flat out horrible' at NFL veteran's combine, could pursue CFL: Report

Michael Sam, the first openly-gay player drafted into the NFL, isn't getting positive reviews.

The 25-year-old, who was taken in the seventh round last year by the St. Louis Rams, appeared at the NFL veteran’s combine earlier this week in a bid to impress a host of scouts.

But according to one league agent, who spoke to TMZ Sports anonymously, Sam didn’t do much to improve his stock.

"My real honest opinion is that he was flat out horrible,” the agent told TMZ. “He did not belong out there."

It’s the kind of feedback Sam received from both the Rams and Dallas Cowboys, a pair of clubs that cut the University of Missouri product from their practice squads last summer.

"He thinks he's a superstar. It would be nice if he could do something on the field to back up the attitude,” the agent added.

Word arrived Sunday that Sam was at least considering a stint in the Canadian Football League if it doesn’t work out in the NFL.

"He sells tickets,” the agent said. “He attracts fans. And from there you never know."

If you can play, you can play.

According to some, though. Sam can’t at the NFL level.

Michael Sam SUCKS!

Did the camera cut away from Sam dancing to show his ‘husband’ in the audience seething with livid teary rage?

[God luvs America]

his forty time was over 5-seconds, i’m told around 5.15 seconds- much slower than his combine time from a year ago...many of the 300lbs + offensive linemen at this years combine ran faster than Sam did...

[God luvs America]

because wide receiver don’t run the forty in 5+ seconds...

[Michael.SF.]

Maybe he should try soccer?

[RetSignman]

Annnnnnnnd then he got that phone about his blood test.

“He sells tickets,” the agent said. “He attracts fans.”

Maybe in San Francisco, Key West and Fire Island.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

What, no opening for him in the GFL?

[Mastador1]

Butt, Butt, he's QUEER And on top of it he's BLACK! That means that he should just be given a Super Bowl ring and put in the hall of fame.

Time for a league “of their own”.

Well, if you stick a helmet on a donkey and put him on the field, that will probably attract some gawkers too, but it won’t win you any games.

[ken in texas]

I assume he’s a tight end, right?

Maybe when he was 18.

Well, if you stick a helmet on a donkey....

...or a mule

“He sells tickets,” the agent said.

...

He sells tickets to what, a freak show?

...

“He attracts fans. And from there you never know.”

...

Not NFL fans. Circus fans, perhaps.

[latina4dubya]

Maybe in San Francisco, Key West and Fire Island.

or Pittsburgh, Rochester, Arlington, St. Louis, and Salt Lake City...

Butt, Butt....? That's just too easy :)

Seriously, he could decorate the locker rooms at the Superbowl, and be awarded a "special category" ring. Kind of like "Miss Congeniality."

Apparently the Toronto Sun thinks their country’s football league is the natural home for flat-out awful football players.

[Marathoner]

Happened to walk by the TV last night (my wife watches Dancing with the Stars) and saw Erin Andrews interviewing him. I swear, I about wanted to vomit.
