Advertisement Before the draft, he had indicated that he wanted to make his sexuality public and therefore decided to reveal the news in interviews he did with the New York Times and ESPN. Sam told at the time: "I am an openly, proud gay man. "I understand how big this is. It's a big deal. No one has done this before. And it's kind of a nervous process. 'But I know what I want to be, I want to be a football player in the NFL."

Speaking to the Express, he said "We all get nervous, if you're not nervous at all, it's very rare. But I think nervousness is a good thing because that adrenaline keeps you going. "It's a weird feeling because you are performing in a studio for a live audience, you kind of just get wrapped up in that moment of the crowd cheering for you." 7 Colin shared photos of the recent trip to Barcelona Credit: Instagram Advertisement 7 He posted a photo from a yacht at sunset Credit: Instagram

Doing an impression of Ace Ventura, Brendyn said: "Oh hi there, didn't see ya ... "Yeah had a minute, and thought I'd update everyone on life. It's a big day tomorrow. Going in for a little bit of surgery. "Everybody close to me knows whats going on. "But yeah, for the last year and a half I've really had a hard time with asthmatic symptoms but I've never had it before in my life, like breathing. "Anyway I've been in A&E a couple of times with massive asthma attacks, never dealt with it my whole life. "But through testing and everything they've found a bunch of things going on with my sinuses. So it's not a massive surgery but the bill sure is. Because the NHS could not fit me in for another year. "And I can't live like this anymore. "I will keep updated and let everyone know that I am ok. Rachel Stevens looks loved up on holiday in rare picture with Dancing On Ice star boyfriend "Basically due to a clerical error I got discharged from the NHS in October and they weren't able to see me until December this year and it has been nothing but frustrating. "I'm excited to get it done but it's not an easy one to swallow with changing everything. But everything works out in the end and you just keep... (going) you know?"
