Michael Sam's brief professional football career has already had its fair share of updates.
The defensive end's latest news is that he has decided to step away from the game.
On Friday Sam took to social (https://twitter.com/MichaelSamNFL/status/632333545831301120) media (https://twitter.com/MichaelSamNFL/status/632333710017167360) to announce (https://twitter.com/MichaelSamNFL/status/632333816665735168) his decision to stop playing for the Montreal Alouettes. The former SEC Defensive Player of the Year cited mental health as his reasoning to walk away from the CFL.
"The last 12 months have been very difficult for me, to the point where I became concerned with my mental health. Because of this I am going to step away from the game at this time," Sam said. "I thank the Alouettes for this opportunity and hope to be back on the field soon. Thank you all for your understanding and support."
