Vandalism countermeasures?
If vandalism happens often, then perhaps the article should be edit-protected at least from IP users. -Mardus (talk) 02:48, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

minor correction
it says in the text " no active player had ever come out publicly out in NFL history." maybe someone who is not affected by the article being semi- protected can delete the second "out". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Okaymarteng (talk • contribs) 07:34, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

A second "minor correction" might be required. Michael Sam had been drafted by the St. Louis Rams, but he has not yet made the team, and as a 7th-round draft pick it is possible (perhaps likely) that he will not be on the final roster when the regular season begins on September 7th. Might that distinction not properly be made in the article at this time? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.251.134.185 (talk) 08:26, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The article seems to only say he is the first to be drafted. It does not say he has played yet.  If I am missing something, perhaps you can point out the exact wording you want added/changed.  Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 22:59, 26 May 2014 (UTC)


 * This distinction is already pretty explicit in the lede of the article. Gaijin42 (talk) 00:09, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Under Professional Career, St. Louis Rams, paragraph 2, a statement is made, "Sam sacked the fellow top-quality rookie Johnny Manziel." I request replacing this text with "Sam sacked fellow rookie Johnny Manziel." I believe the word "top-quality" is not appropriate, as it is subjective and unsubstantiated. It sounds like the sentence means to say that Sam is a top-quality rookie as is Manziel. One may reasonably question whether it is appropriate to use the adjective "top-quality" to describe a late-round draft pick that has never been on an NFL 53-man roster.

 * Yes check.svg Done I agree that the phrase "top-quality" should not be there, as it is subjective. I'm removing it now. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:39, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

His number with Montreal will be 94. "Aware of Sam's celebrity, the team immediately put his No. 94 Alouettes jersey on sale on its website for $139.95." http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/12931850/michael-sam-signs-two-year-deal-montreal-alouettes-cfl
