I have a friend who knows a guy on the redskins training staff that said...

This is some pretty wild speculation. Can't we just be happy he's on our team regardless of how he got here?

I guess I should’ve made it way more clear that I’m so happy he’s a redskin and I do not care one bit if he is or isn’t gay. I just want to know what “character concern” caused him to fall to the late 2nd round and be the 7th rb drafted. Further, if the good ole boy league thinks he’s gay and that’s why he fell, then shame on them. He’s the real deal and should be our workhorse for a decade.

Yeah and to have a #gay4guice is pretty messed up man. Like if he is not gay. I'd take this down

I was trying to say I am gay for Guice. And again I don’t care if he is or isn’t gay, I just want to know why he fell in the draft and was the 7th rb selected. If this is the reason (or even the speculation was the reason he fell), then jackpot Redskins imo.

I'm sure he appreciates you speculating on his sexuality then presuming he is gay when it doesn't matter at all in the first place.

Booooooo this wildly speculative dumb post

I could give two shits if he is gay or not, but attempting to out someone is a pretty awful thing to do.

It’s a theory, not an out. I, too, do not care if he is or isn’t. I just want to know what “character concerns” the gms had with him that saw him be the 7th RB selected. The bigger story here is if GMs downgraded him just for the speculation that he might be gay and masked it as “character concerns”, then they deserve to be publicly shamed.

All I know is from everything observed of him from college and what he's done since drafted there are no character issues we should be concerned about. Whatever he does in his private life is his business. I'm glad we drafted him and hopefully he uses the snubs as motivation to shit on the rest of the league while wearing burgundy and gold.

This is wildly speculative.

But also the 3rd time I’m hearing this. Both the others being on various fantasy podcasts and both of those were also like friend of guy who knows a Mom type Thing. But still 3 is 3

What podcasts, if you don’t mind me asking?

I’m trying to remember. I think one was locked on nfl draft the more I think about it. Cuz it was right around the draft time when I heard it. I’ll try to dig this up

Prefacing this by saying that although I'm confident in reporting this, I wouldn't be prepared to testify in court or anything, so take with a grain of salt;

Guice isn't gay.
However, he is a good human. And when a team asked him at the combine if he was gay, he refused to answer and reported the question as inappropriate, which is the right thing to do.

There is a zero % chance this is true. You're trying to tell me that in the year 2018, years after all of the nfl celebrated in waves after Michael Sams was drafted that someone slid because they liked dick? You'd have to be dumb to believe this

I still believe that Snyder and Co just started a rumor that Guice had issues so that other teams would pass on him and he would drop to us.

I don't think our FO is that cunning, especially when there's zero guarantee that he'd still be there at the end of the 2nd, where we traded back to. If the FO really wanted him that bad in the 2nd, they wouldn't have traded back when he was right there for the picking, as there were several teams right behind our original position that needed a RB (and took one).

I subscribe to the slightly more realistic theory that his agent, who he'd fired shortly before the draft, leaked some fake dirt on him to get revenge for firing him.

Ah, I wasn’t aware that had happened! Definitely makes a lot more sense than my theory.

I love that that sounds so wild but is actually true

If he got into an altercation with the Eagles staff its a plus in my book.

Jalen Ramsey is 100% gay but if you ask any NFL GM which CB they would take for the next next 10 years, they'd say Ramsey

Who cares about his sexual orientation. He may be gay or he may not be but damn it he's a good kid and if he becomes a force on the field it won't matter whether he is gay or straight

Just a non story
