Although he's a year removed from the draft, free agent defensive end Michael Sam was granted permission and received an invite to the NFL's inaugural veteran combine in Arizona on March 22, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Sam was selected in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Rams after being named the SEC co-Defensive Player of the Year. He didn't survive final preseason cuts and spent seven weeks on the Cowboys' practice squad before being released. He'll workout with roughly 100 veteran free agents in front of representatives from all 32 teams.
