Michael Sam just revealed that he is not the only gay man who played in the NFL this season and that he knows that for a fact. He did a sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey that's going to air on Saturday on the Oprah Winfrey Network. And during the interview, he told Oprah that several gay NFL players have contacted him recently to talk about what he's gone through over the course of the last year.

It's unclear how much Sam talked about these players during the interview. But in the teaser video above, you can see a brief clip of his interview with Oprah, which also features him talking about why he thinks he's not in the NFL right now.
