The Browns drafted DE Carl Nassib out of Penn State in the third-round of the 2016 NFL draft. The defensive front was an area of great need for Cleveland, and Nassib was seen as a bit light but had good speed and just had an incredible season as a sack master.
Yesterday, Nassib, a member of the Las Vegas Raiders’ defense, announced on his Instagram account that he was gay.
So, why is this even a news story? He is not the first sports figure to be known as being gay. In fact, he is not even the first NFL player that is known for this.
