St. Louis Rams defensive end Michael Sam, has been the talk of the town ever since being drafted in the seventh round of the NFL draft, but has he been completely honest with the Rams?
According to reports, the Rams were not aware that Sam was going to have documentary about his life and only found out about the project after they selected Sam. The Rams commented on the reports earlier Friday and intend to cooperate with with the documentary and ESPN's Ed Werder was first on the report.

Not everyone is thrilled with the idea of the documentary. ESPN spoke with an unnamed Rams player about the situation and he voiced his opinion.
"It's an interesting case that he gets to work with Oprah and have his own show, but I think it does raise eyebrows and it may be somewhat of a distraction.”
"But this is our first time dealing with something like this, so we'll have to wait and see how it plays out and how people react."
The project is going to be on Oprah’s OWN television station and won’t cover or film anything from the Rams’ facilities during workouts or camps.
OWN has assured Sam camp that it is not shooting any part of series at Rams mini camp, OTAs or training camp. — darren rovell (@darrenrovell) May 15, 2014
