I'd guess Nutz or Skin. Those boys were usually at the bottom of most mischief in those days.
We were remiss not to remember that Mike Sherman and his coaches at one time put Ahmad Carroll in boxing gloves to help teach him how to play press man and not grab the opponent in such a way as to draw a flag.

Nothing captured the moment of a player and his struggle to develop more than Carroll in boxing gloves in DB drills. Like a 6 year old wearing socks on their hands to bed so they don't pick their nose during the night.
