3. Adam Lane, Jr. / American Football Player
Anyone who poops himself during a public event would likely never want to recall the moment, or would at least look back to the occasion with embarrassment. However, Florida running back Adam Lane [yes, in context, the position he plays is sadly appropriate] surprisingly calls his episode “the best thing that could have happened.” It took place early in the second quarter at the 2015 Birmingham Bowl between Lane’s team and East Carolina, which Florida won 28-20, by the way. From two yards out, Lane pranced into the end zone, and during that drive, somehow suffered an accident, resulting in a brown stain on the back of his white pants. Within minutes, though, Lane was back on the field with a new unstained pair. He recalled, “I got a lot of attention and just put me in a place where I was out there publicly and people knew who I was. I really didn’t get a lot of grief from it. A lot of people were really more focused on how well I did in the game more than anything. I feel like it was that way because I embraced it.”
