I'm not afraid of who I am. I'm not afraid to tell the world who I am. I'm Michael Sam, I'm a college graduate, I'm African-American and I'm gay.

But I will never say anything about who they are, what teams they are on. I'm just saying there's some famous people, and I'm not the only one.

Thank God he wasn't the St. Louis Rams' coach. I have a lot of respect for Coach Dungy and like everyone in America, everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

Great things happen when you have the courage to be yourself

I'm Michael Sam, I'm a football player, and I'm gay.

I'm unemployed, and I don't believe I'm out of the NFL because I'm gay, but if it was a reason, it can hurt their livelihood, and you don't want to take that chance.

The most worthwhile things in life rarely come easy, this is a lesson I've always known. The journey continues.
