NFL wanted an out gay to be drafted so he was the one.

Wasn't he SEC defensive player of the year? And went 7th round?

Politics in that as well?

Has that ever happened to another Conference?

Where their best player gets drafted in the 7th round and is out the league immediately.

Why was he so dominant in the SEC but couldn't carry a cup of coffee in the NFL? Methinks the defenses weren't all they were cracked up to be.

I just remember he wasn't even the best DE on his team.

his stats were worthy but he was a max effort kid in college. he was at his limit with no room for development. That is why he went 7th round.

Having said that, he did produce at a high level in preseason games. He may have deserved a better look than he got but that happens with so many players in the NFL it is hard to think he was singled out.

No. He didn't come out (or was outted) until just before the draft.

He was definitley drafted under pressure from the NFL to be PC.
