MONTREAL, June 15 (UPI) -- After mysteriously leaving the Montreal Alouettes, the first openly gay player to be drafted into the NFL was suspended by the team Monday.
Michael Sam, 25, was drafted in the seventh round with the No. 249 pick overall in the 2014 draft by the St. Louis Rams. The Missouri product was cut by the Rams and joined the Dallas Cowboys practice team for a month before signing with the CFL last month.
