"I applaud Michael Sam and wish him the very best as he continues the pursuit of his NFL dream. We will evaluate Michael just like any other draft prospect -- on the basis of his ability, character and NFL potential.

And with that, any lingering political aspirations Elway may have had with the GOP are now officially and irrevocably dead.
