On one of his first days as a Redskins wide receiver, Darnerien McCants wore an oversize white T-shirt with a drawing of a lion outlined in black and sparkling with silver glitter.
The 6-foot-3, 210-pound McCants didn't realize the T-shirt would serve as comic relief until he walked into the locker room at Redskins Park in Ashburn.
"What's your deal, buddy?" yelled cornerback Fred Smoot.
"What is THAT?" linebacker LaVar Arrington demanded.
Another player delivered the punch line: "That looks like something you sleep in -- a nightgown or something."
Laughter cascaded through the room. Amid the din, McCants nonchalantly changed into his uniform, hanging the T-shirt in a stall. After practice, he found the shirt pinned to a bulletin board.
