Openly gay NFL free agent Michael Sam is gracing the cover of GQ’s Men Of The Year Issue. Also, new details have emerged surrounding Dwight Howard’s child abuse allegations and Kevin Hart clowns college football player Jameis Winston when you go inside…

Michael Sam made history and caught all of our attention this year after becoming the first openly gay pro-football player to be drafted into the NFL. And although he’s currently a free agent, the former University of Missouri All-American baller is making some big moves…off the field.

The 24-year-old defensive end nabbed a spot on GQ magazine’s 2014 Men of the Year list. Michael’s cover is included in the six GQ covers released for its annual list of celebrities who set the tone in 2014.

The NFL draftee is super excited over his big feat and took to Twitter to share his excitement saying, “A big thank you to @GQMagazine for including me among their #GQMOTY – I’m beyond honored to share their company!!”

Mike was drafted by the St. Louis Rams during the 2014 NFL draft in August. The Rams dropped him during preseason and he was quickly picked up by the Dallas Cowboys. Unfortunately for him, he never made it to a real game after he was axed from the Cowboys practice squad in October.

So what’s next for the football player? Well, he could get recruited into the Arena Football League. We hear Las Vegas Outlaws owner Vince Neil (Motley Crue lead singer) is interested in Michael playing on his team. No word if Michael will play, but good news for him nonetheless.
