There could be several reasons why Michael Sam isn’t in the NFL. They all could be wrong, all could be right or could be a combination of a few. One of the reasons is that Sam isn’t 100% focus on the football and never has been no matter what he says to the media. That is perfectly fine, a lot of players aren’t 100% focus on football, the problem with Sam is that he lies about continually, so some people feel they are being a conned.
Sam is appearing on “Dancing with the Stars”, once again not unusual for an athlete, but not exactly what an athlete who is desperately trying to get back on a roster would do. Sam admitted that dancing is harder than football via TMZ, considering he isn’t on a team, he might want to rethink how hard and serious he takes football.
