Oprah’s network plans Michael Sam docuseries

Michael Sam, the first openly gay football player drafter into the NFL, is getting his own series.

Oprah Winfrey’s OWN cable network will produce a docu-series about Sam, it announced Wednesday.

The series — no official title or airdate yet — will be produced by Craig Piligian’s Pilgrim Studios and Emmy-nominated filmmaker Amy Rice (“Lindsay,” “By The People: The Election of Barack Obama”).

Sam, an All-American defense end at the University of Missouri, was drafted last Saturday, May 10, by the St. Louis Rams.

He was 249th overall choice in the 2014 NFL draft.
