[font size = 6] John Elway : "I'd Draft Michael Sam"[/font size = 6]
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/john-elway-michael-sam-nfl-draft
"I applaud Michael Sam and wish him the very best as he continues the pursuit of his NFL dream," Elway said Monday, as quoted by the Denver Post.
"As we look toward the combine and draft, we will evaluate Michael just like any other draft prospect — on the basis of his ability, character and NFL potential. His announcement will have no effect on how we see him as a football player."
An avowed Republican who publicly supported Mitt Romney, Elway said that in NFL locker rooms "it's about treating others with respect and earning that respect."
"By all indications, it appears Michael has done just that throughout his football career," Elway said.
