David Kopay came out in the mid 70's. He is the only one to do so. Yes there are gay foot ball players. Maybe one day some of them will come out.
Also just a little humor. Foot ball might be gay because who came up with tight end and wide receiver. very minor lol
The first person drafted into the NFL was Jay Berwanger by the Philadelphia Eagles but he chose not to play. The first person to actually sign and play was Riley Smith who signed with Washington Redskins.
The first person to get paid was William (Pudge) Heffelfinger and he was openly paid $500 dollars and that was November 12, 1892. So football has been around for about 118 years now?! Wow!
