"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Free agent defensive lineman Michael Sam told Dan Patrick on Friday that he wished he had gone undrafted in 2014 because of the Rams\u2019 defensive line depth.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CThat was a tough defensive line to go to,\u201D Sam said. \u201CIt was really hard for me. I actually wish I went undrafted, because I could choose a team who needed some really good pass rushers and was weak on the depth chart.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sam was taken by the St. Louis Rams in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL draft. Their front seven in 2014 featured Pro Bowl linemen Robert Quinn and Aaron Donald, along with 2012 and 2013 first-round picks Michael Brockers and Alec Ogletree.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sam says he\u2019s currently training to try to make it back to the NFL, and also taking broadcasting classes in case football doesn\u2019t work out.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The former SEC defensive player of the year came out as gay in Feb. 2014. After preseason stints with the Rams and Cowboys and a stop in the CFL, Sam announced in August he would take a break from football.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;Huddle Up: A conversation with Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Kenny Ducey&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
