Florio appeared on "The Dan Patrick Show" Monday and said flatly, "teams want to know if Manti Te'o is gay," calling it "the elephant in the room." Florio adds that it should not make a difference, but says we have to "step aside from the rest of reality and walk into the unique industry that is the NFL."

As Florio points out, teams probably can't directly ask Te'o that question during their interviews with the former Notre Dame linebacker. But that won't stop teams from trying to find out.
