Michael Sam Is Now One Of The Dallas Cowboys, He Got A 2nd Chance And He Said It Feels Great!

BHR Hollywood Reports.....When Michael Sam was released last weekend by the St. Louis Rams, he was sure another opportunity, if not with the Rams, would come.

When his phone didn't ring over the weekend, there was some surprise a dominant college pass-rusher couldn't get a bite with another NFL team.

It all changed Wednesday morning when Sam passed a physical and joined the Dallas Cowboys' 10-man practice squad.

Michael Sam Got A 2nd Chance 

"It was a little longer than I expected," said Sam, who is trying to become the first openly gay player to participate in an NFL regular-season game.

"But you know what, I'm here now, and that's all that matters."

The Cowboys downplayed Sam's arrival, saying the objective is to play against the San Francisco 49ers in the season opener Sunday afternoon at AT&T Stadium.

Sam, however, became the first practice squad player to hold a news conference. Standing against a wall with the Cowboys' blue star on it, Sam was surrounded by reporters.

"It feels good to be a Cowboy," said Sam, a Texas native. "It feels great."
