Ingtar says, “History says you should not have been drafted at all.”

I just looked at Michael Sam's combine results. They are quite mediocre. I then compared them to VPI defensive end James Gayle's combine results. Gayle went undrafted. Here's the comparison:

Michael Sam James Gayle
40-yd dash 4.91 sec 4.70 sec
Bench Press 17 reps 26 reps
Vertical Jump 25.5 in 37.0 in
Broad Jump 114 in 122 in
3-Cone Drill 7.80 sec 7.19 sec
20-yd Shuttle 4.70 sec 4.27 sec

Gayle has now signed with the Giants as a free agent. Can someone explain to me how it's possible that the Rams could possibly take Sam over Gayle after Gayle beat him in all six categories?

The NFL is a different game then college. A ton of real good college players don’t make it in the NFL. I predict Sam will disappear from the NFL within a year or two.
