STORY HIGHLIGHTS
(CNN) -- President Barack Obama congratulated Michael Sam on Saturday for being the first openly gay football player taken in the National Football League draft, the White House said in a statement.
"From the playing field to the corporate boardroom, LGBT Americans prove everyday that you should be judged by what you do and not who you are," Obama said. He also congratulated the NFL and the St. Louis Rams, the team that drafted Sam.
Sam, an All-American defensive end who played for the University of Missouri, made history when he was picked by the Rams in the seventh and final round. He was the 249th of 256 players selected.
The 24-year-old got the news by telephone from Rams' coach Jeff Fisher, who told Sam: "You are a Ram. The wait is finally over."
Sam, who was filmed by ESPN as he got the call, broke down in tears and kissed his boyfriend. "Thank you," he could be heard saying to Fisher.

Obama congratulates Michael Sam
President Barack Obama lauded trade and commercial ties between the U.S. and Uruguay Monday during his meeting with the South American nation's president.
Obama said his Oval Office discussions with President Jose Mujica were "an opportunity to find ways that we can further deepen this relationship."
"We both think that there's room for additional work to expand trade and commerce between our countries," he said.
Obama added that he has been "consistently impressed" with the progress Uruguay has made since Mujica took office in 2010, particularly his commitment to democracy and human rights.
Mujica rarely dons a tie and made no exception for his visit to the White House. The former guerrilla fighter has also garnered attention for driving an old Volkswagen Beetle and continuing to live on a ramshackle flower farm with his wife.
The 78-year-old Mujica said he wished he could visit other places in the United States during his trip, but is growing old and doesn't travel much anymore.
