Other than Michael Sam (whose entire story is chronicled in the NFL.com article) I can't think of another active player coming out. They've all been retired.

They may have all been retired before they came out but there have been plenty of closeted gay men in the NFL over the years, which is what makes Nassib's announcement all the more courageous.

I'm absolutely certain he'll hear about it, not from teammates, but from opposing fans. Millennials and Gen Z'ers don't find shame in homosexuality and they're 6 times as likely as previous generations to be homosexual.

Really proud of Carl Nassib. The first active football player to ever do so. I played with several guys who never were comfortable enough to go public. They were great teammates, & obviously very talented.
