Michael Sam, who was the first openly-gay player to be drafted in the NFL, is back working in football after retiring from the game in 2015.
Sam has accepted a position with the Barcelona Dragons of the European Football League as the team’s defensive line coach.
“I am extremely grateful for the opportunity joining the Barcelona Dragons organization. I want to thank GM Bart Iaccarino, head coach Andrew Weidinger and the Barcelona team. I hope to contribute however I can to help the defensive line to be the best pass rushers in the European League,” Sam said in the team release.
