Michael Sam’s Emotional Reaction After Being Drafted By Rams (Video)

The wait finally ended for the former SEC Defensive Player of the Year. Missouri Tigers DE/OLB Michael Sam was drafted by the St. Louis Rams in the 7th round, 249th overall and had a very emotional reaction. It’s no small feat to become the first openly gay player drafted into the NFL.

Thank you to the St. Louis Rams and the whole city of St. Louis. I’m using every once of this to achieve greatness!! pic.twitter.com/QESdOJVzsw
