Kevin Grayson is “one of the most decorated football players Central Virginia has ever seen” and he's coming out of the closet, WTVR reports:
Grayson was named all district and all-region while playing both offense and defense at L.C. Bird High School in Chesterfield. In college he helped the University of Richmond Spiders win the Football Championship Subdivision national title in 2008, and while playing professionally in Italy last year he was named MVP of his league's super bowl.
But his sexuality remained hidden from many of his coaches and all but a handful of trusted teammates, largely because of the culture that exists in America's favorite sport.
Grayson has “no doubt” there are gay players in the NFL currently, and admits to knowing some active players himself. But, he explained that “it's one of those things where you meet someone and you find out about something it's a ‘you take it to the grave' type thing.”
