At this point, Michael Sam is getting used to making history.
The former Missouri standout on Saturday became the first openly gay player selected in the NFL draft. After St. Louis picked Sam with the 249th overall pick, the defensive end drew congratulations from across the sporting landscape as well as from President Barack Obama.
And in a testament to his popularity among fans, Sam's jersey sales were historically high in the hours after he got the call from the Rams. In fact, the only jersey that sold more than Sam's was the one belonging to Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel.
