Michael Sam Gay: NFL Player Posts Nude PHOTO On Grindr Hookup App? [PHOTO & VIDEO]
After an alleged nude photo of NFL player Michael Sam was released on the Internet, the player's agent has spoken out about whether or not the photo is indeed the recently outed prospect.
On Monday, TMZ reported that the picture of a nude man with dark skin is actually not Sam after all, something the player's agent Cameron Weiss confirmed when he spoke to them.
"The picture is not Mike," Weiss said.

"It could be anyone," Weiss added. "There's no face."
Weiss then mentioned that Sam is currently focused on the NFL Draft.
"Michael has a few weeks to fine tune some things before his Pro Day," Weiss said. "He'll be ready."
The nude photo on TMZ does not show a face, but shows someone with an iPad in front of his face as he points it into a mirror with an exposed side frontal shot. The photo appears to have come from the Grindr, a hookup app for men.
Sam revealed that he was gay in an interview with ESPN last February.
"I came to tell the world I'm an openly proud gay man," Sam said.
"I understand how big this is," Sam continued. "It's a big deal. No one has done this before. And it's kind of a nervous process, but I know what I want to be...I want to be a football player in the NFL."
"I didn't realize how many people actually knew, and I was afraid that someone would tell or leak something out about me," Sam added. "I want to own my truth...no one else should tell my story, but me."
