ten page thread coming

good for him, now to watch the general public meltdown 

[Anybodyhome 5,099]

Be interesting to see what happens to the SEC Defensive Player of the Year during the draft for the most homophobic professional sport in the world. 

[LinvilleGorge 19,750]

Wow.  Very interesting.  He's listed as a mid-round prospect by most sites and had 18.5 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks in the SEC.  This isn't some guy who is just putting his name in the draft knowing he has no realistic NFL chance and then coming out of the closet for attention.  Dude is a legit prospect.

ESPN and the media will eat this up

this is historical news btw

[CarolinaNCSU 5,447]

Sadly, I wouldn't be surprised to see him go undrafted now. Courageous of him to do regardless.

I'm confused...I though Matt Ryan the first openly gay NFL player??

 

 

I mean seriously...look at this guy

[KendrickPanther 7,398]

Anybody watch this guy play? Maybe he can help us.

[FearTheCats 501]

Good for him, he is a great player too. The fact that he told his team in August and they stayed together and had a great year showed that it clearly wasn't a problem in the locker room. Wishing him the best of luck for his NFL career.

New favorite for #1 overall pick???

[PantherMan89 292]

Good for him but I would think financially it would be wise to wait til he got drafted but more power to him

Guy has a lot of courage.  Hope it will not be long before that is not big news.
