Rams GM On Michael Sam: 'I Could Feel The Pivot In History'

The Rams' General Manager Les Snead said he had never before experienced such an emotional draft pick as when he selected the first openly gay NFL player, Michael Sam, to the team on Saturday.
"Man, was he emotional," Snead said on Sunday, according to Sports Illustrated. "I could feel it over the phone."
"I could feel the pivot in history at that moment, with that phone call," he continued.
