Either Sam or his mentors are fairly smart.
Without the “gay” angle he’s probably coaching hs football or selling insurance now.
A year or two in the NFL (I can’t imagine they’d cut him first year) will bring in 400 grand plus/ yr.
Sam signed a four-year contract for 2.6 million, of which only $46,000 is guaranteed. The NFL’s rookie salary structure means that players are basically signed on a pre-determined scale.
