ALAMEDA, Calif. -- David Sharpe, the Oakland Raiders’ fourth-round draft pick out of Florida, again denied reports about the vision in his right eye.

“I’m not blind,” Sharpe said on a conference call with reporters after the Raiders selected him with the 129th overall selection. “I’m not legally blind. The information is false. All of it is false. I just had a little cataract removal when I was younger and I’ve been battling that since I was young. But it doesn’t affect my play or vision or anything.

“I’m not blind.”

So there.
