Sam, the first openly gay player drafted by the NFL, celebrated the occasion at
TAO Nightclub in Las Vegas Saturday night. Drafted by the St. Louis Rams in the
seventh round, the defensive end from the University of Missouri was joined by
boyfriend Vito Cammisano, who swam competitively for the school.
A
group of ten, including his agent and friends were on hand as Sam was surprised
by a presentation from the club and a shout out from DJ Vice. He spotted
Richard Sherman of the NFL champion Seattle Seahawks at a neighboring table the
two chatted for a few minutes.
Sam
and Cammisano later headed to the DJ booth, where Vice stopped the music to
introduce and congratulate the newly signed pro. The crowd cheered as they
danced and waved when Vice asked “Do we have any Rams fans in the house?!” The
couple returned to their table where they celebrated the historic day until 3
am.
