Michael Sam jersey #2 behind only Manziel

[The Rammer]

LOVE THIS LOVE THIS LOVE THIS! Hope those turds in San Fran and Seattle enjoy half their stadium being in blue and gold!

Even if the Rams had drafted ME, I'm not sure I'd want a jersey that has a number I wouldn't actually be wearing in games.

Is there a significance to the #10? Was he hugely inspired by Mike Sims-Walker?

I might get a Michael Sam jersey just because I don't think he's going to be a Ram for long. Would be cool to have, especially if he becomes a big player somewhere else.

He's not #10. He was just our 10th draft pick, so the jersey for now has the #10 placeholder. When the jerseys ship in a couple of weeks, they'll have Sam's real number on it.

Ah, thanks.

I suppose it would take a lot more time to make thousands of jerseys than one (see another thread about that reference), and what you say makes sense.

I just wasn't sure where the 10 was coming from... but I suppose 7 (for 7th round) was out even as a placeholder, as the Rams have retired that number.

I read that he was the #1 selling jersey and Manziel was 2nd

I have long said I would never own a jersey with anyone else's name on the back but my own, ( my current ones say Saint, Martin, SB99... )at any rate the wife and I are gettin Sam jerseys. Just a sign of support for a tremendously talented kid who's future was obviously impacted by his coming out.
He was a beast at Mizzou, and I'm hoping he's a beast for us too. Absolute steal in the 7th.

Where do you see him fitting in? Think he packs on weight to be a DE, or slims down to play LB?

Neither honestly. I think they use him at DE in passing situations at his current weight. Not sure he has the frame to get bigger and just isn't fast enough for LB. The kid makes plays though.

I didn't read any of these posts (eye muscle issues lately) so forgive me if someone already said this but I'm wondering if the ROD is going to have a sudden influx of new posters because of drafting Sam. If he make the team of course.

Drafting him alone got one of my good Army buddies to switch over from being a Pats fan (he's from Boston) to a Rams fan, so there's at least one.

If he starts posting here is another thing though.

He was until Manziel came out and said that he was also gay.
Too soon?

Please NO to LB. I saw film of him trying to play that roll and it was butt ugly. He'll have to show out on ST to make the 53. I smell "Practice Team" for his immediate future.

Manziel- Attention whore!

Exactly!

Glad someone has a sense of humor. Jeesh

LOL whats with this ? where did I say anything wrong ? I thought this site was above that sort of thing ?

 

[Ramhusker]

Any of you "out of market" guys catching shit yet for wearing your Ram's gear? The jokes are starting to fly and NFL terminology is making it too easy for some of these people. It will blow over by next season I'm sure.

Haha. How the hell did this get two inappropriate clicks? The truth must hurt some people.

I believe you are right, I read somewhere that it is #10 right now because he was the Rams 10th pick.

Also, just read a comment of someone who tried to order one, he said the Jersey will ship within 2-4 weeks after he has officially been assigned a number.

That's correct. I ordered a Tavon Austin jersey last year and it took almost a month to arrive because he hadn't been assigned his number.

I wonder if Manziel would be comfortable if he knew that Sam was right behind him...

Probably! Sam's sacked him before!
