Michael Sam returns to school
Michael Sam is working on a master’s degree and still hopeful for an NFL career. Sam, the first openly gay player drafted by the league, says his life has been a “roller-coaster” since the Rams picked him in the seventh round last year. The defensive end from Missouri was cut by the Rams and spent part of last season on the Cowboys practice squad before being released. He signed with the CFL’s Montreal Alouettes, but quit in August, tweeting he was worried about his mental health. He appeared relaxed in an interview on KMIZ-TV in Columbia, Miss. He is considering a broadcasting career, but also hopes to be back in football in 2016.
