Jeff Fisher says Jon Gruden was dead wrong when he claimed in an email that the NFL forced him and the Rams to draft Michael Sam.
was the one who pressured the head coach to pick Sam in the 7th round of the 2014 NFL Draft due to the pass rusher's sexual orientation.
Fisher added,"The NFL never encouraged or discouraged me regarding the selection of a potential prospect." "I continue to support Michael, and his decision to come out as the first draft eligible openly gay player in the league," Fisher said."It took courage to serve as a role model for those competitive football players who may also happen to be gay."
