ONE-EYED FOOTBALL STUD...LEGIT!!!

Football is a tough enough sport utilizing two eyes, but former California Golden Bear fullback Josh White managed to play pac. 10 ball and also arena league football with vision in just one eye. He lost vision in his left eye at the age of 1 when he tripped and fell on a sharp toy. The former Cal fullback was recruited to Cal after playing just one year at Snow Junior College in Utah. After completing three seasons at Cal, and receiving no interest from any NFL teams, White decided on the Arena Football League (AFL) where he made his debut for the Dallas Desperados on March 7, 2004. Surprisingly, White played both sides of the ball; A fullback on offense, and linebacker on defense. He probably layed absolute hat weighing in at 260 at linebacker. White also made a brief appearance in the Arena Football League 2 with the Hawaiian Islanders where he now resides with wife Ginger Lau. To all you kids out there with one eye, never give up.
