Despite earlier reports that Michael Sam had turned down requests for filming during the draft, the Missouri defensive end will indeed be on camera Saturday if he's drafted.
ESPN will have a camera w/ @Mizzou's @mikesamfootball today. If he's drafted, we'll capture the historic moment. #NFLDraft

If chosen, Sam would become the NFL's first openly gay player ever to be selected in the draft. Even if he goes without hearing his name called Saturday, Sam will surely be given a chance to show what he can do as an undrafted free agent.
The 2013 SEC defensive player of the year, Sam's viewed as on the bubble to be taken between rounds four and seven.
