“I think it will happen sooner than you think,” Ayanbadejo told Aaron Wilson of The Baltimore Sun. “We’re in talks with a handful of players who are considering it. There are up to four players being talked to right now and they’re trying to be organized so they can come out on the same day together. It would make a major splash and take the pressure off one guy. It would be a monumental day if a handful or a few guys come out.”
Ayanbadejo’s claim that as many as four players are currently considering coming out in the near future comes not long after sources told Mike Freeman of CBSSports.com that a current gay player in the NFL was “strongly considering coming out publicly.”
Which players do you suspect will be coming out of the closet soon?
