Michael Sam Reacts to NFL Selection (Grab tissues!)

Broadcast live nationally on ESPN:

Him getting the phone call (don't say I didn't warn you about the tissues):

-----------------------

He worked his entire life to get to this moment, and feared he'd never be picked because of who he loved. This moment is a testament to all those out there who don't think they will succeed because of who they love. It's not true. You can succeed. And if you try, you WILL succeed!
