Glad to be a part of the NFL Veteran Free Agent Combine. Working hard to show up bigtime! Have a safe weekend all!

Michael Sam, formerly of the Dallas Cowboys and the St. Louis Rams, will participate in the first NFL Veteran Combine scheduled to take place on March 22nd in Tempe, AZ.
The veteran combine is a chance for veteran players who may have slipped through the cracks during their earlier time in the NFL.
Via Sporting News:
In 2013, Sam was named the SEC co-Defensive Player of the Year. Although he was projected to be a third- or fourth-round pick, Sam was selected final round and became the first openly gay player to be drafted. He was released by Rams in August after failing to survive the final preseason cuts. Sam joined the Cowboys' practice squad in September but was waived just one month.
Sam was announced earlier this week as a cast member of the 10th season of Dancing With The Stars. Sam had indicated earlier that football is his first priority and the ABC TV show had already assured him their schedule would not interfere with his taking part in the Combine.
Should Sam leave the combine without a deal, he could still accept a one-year offer from the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes.
