Sam, the first openly gay player drafted in the NFL, meets with reporters on Friday. The team is hoping the hubbub will die down eventually and Sam will be treated like any other seventh-round pick.
"Moving around great," coach Jeff Fisher said. "Yeah, he does everything. He's doing all the drops and the footwork is really good."
"They made it very clear what their plan was," Bradford said. "They continue to make that clear."
"I think the media doesn't give athletes enough credit for just accepting players as they are,Wholesale Adidas Hockey Jerseys," said wide receiver T.J. Moe, who was Sam's teammate at Missouri. "They just assume it's a tough-guy culture, and 'How are they possibly going to handle it?' I think maybe it's the other way around. How are the media handling it?"
Blame it on the other Sam on the St,Cristopher Toselli Jersey. Louis Rams roster,Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys. Attention was super-sized Thursday because of rookie defensive end Michael Sam,NFL Jerseys From China.
Rumors the Rams might draft Johnny Manziel were easy for Bradford to dismiss. He was kept in the loop by Fisher and general manager Les Snead during the offseason.
"To be honest, throughout the process I've felt really good and felt better than what I'd anticipated," Bradford said. "Even when you're healthy you have good days with your arm and bad days with your arm,Wholesale Jerseys China, and now it's kind of the same thing with my knee."
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Typically, a Sam Bradford rehab update in early June is not a major media event.
During the rehab, Bradford has added upper-body strength and believes he has a "little more pop" on his throws.
Notes: Fisher anticipates offensive tackle Jake Long, also rehabbing from knee surgery,NFL Jerseys 2018, will be ready to participate in the middle of training camp and was "on pace" to start the opener. Long was hurt at the end of the season and his operation was in January, about two months after Bradford's procedure.
Neither Bradford nor Fisher believe the quarterback has anything extra to prove this season. The Rams drafted protection for Bradford, taking Auburn offensive tackle Greg Robinson with the second overall pick, and held onto guard Rodger Saffold. They added veteran wide receiver Kenny Britt to the mix, too, reuniting him with Fisher.
Britt made a couple of nice catches and also was involved in a bit of a scuffle Thursday.
Britt had little to say about a sexually explicit video posted to his Instagram account last month.
"I figured that's where you guys would be," Bradford joked after a workout.
"That's something that touches home," he said. "Me and my wife have to deal with that. We're going to leave it at that."
"Right now I'm actually taking this year as a rookie year and building my platform," Britt said. "Everything starts from scratch."
Bradford, the first overall pick in 2010, is more than five months removed from left knee surgery and said everything is on schedule. The quarterback got a scheduled day off to allow for bounce-back time and is expected to practice Friday. |
