FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Darrelle Revis might be the hottest man in the NFL — literally.
The New York Jets star cornerback routinely practices in a dark sweatshirt — one of at least three layers — and sweatpants, no matter the weather. Even when the heat index has temperatures soaring over 100 degrees, as they were this weekend, and the air is so thick you can hardly breathe.
“I know, people think I’m crazy,” Revis said after a steamy practice Sunday. “Everybody does.”
While sweat-drenched fans gathered in the metal bleachers are hoping for the occasional warm breeze to provide a respite from the blazing heat, there’s Revis on the practice field dressed as if it’s mid-November.
