Contact drills
For the past two seasons, David Boston shocked cornerbacks by coming onto the field wearing wild-colored contact lenses, making his eyes purple or red or blue. A standard eye test by the Dolphins revealed one of the league's most dangerous deep threats needed a contact correction for a depth-perception problem. The new contacts have Boston picking up balls quicker and a new diet has him on pace to play at under 230 pounds. The only mandate by the team is that Boston wear only natural-colored lenses during games.

More interesting than the actual Boston information (which is fairly scary by itself) is the bit about contacts. How weird would it be if you lined up from a freak of nature like Owens or Boston and they stared straight at you with shimmering gray eyes? Iīd probably think "alien" before I thought "OK, now I have to remember not to bump this guy after 5 yards or Iīll draw a flag."
