Michael Sam, who made headlines last year as the first openly gay NFL player, applied for a spot in the league’s first-ever veteran combine.

The NFL announced in January that it would hold a combine for players with league experience on March 22 at the Arizona Cardinals’ training complex.

Sam was drafted in the seventh round last May by the St. Louis Rams but failed to make their 53-man roster at the end of the preseason. He was picked up by the Dallas Cowboys and added to their practice squad before being released after seven weeks.

Monday marks the one-year anniversary of Sam’s landmark announcement that he is gay and wants to play in the NFL, and the former University of Missouri defensive end wants another shot.

The 6-foot-2, 261-pound Sam is not doing media interviews, according to his publicist, Chris Licata, in an email to USA Today. He most recently was seen publicly as part of a Coca-Cola ad during Super Bowl XLIX.

Sam, 25, has not received another NFL contract offer, even though rosters expand to 90 in the offseason.

According to USA Today, Sam applied for one of about 100 spots in the veteran combine, which could lead to an NFL contract offer and a chance to go to training camp.

A one-year contract offer from the Canadian Football League’s Montreal Alouettes is waiting for him as a contingency.
