The official title for my job is uniform inspector, but the players call it "fashion police" and other names that aren't so complimentary. They see me and say, "Here he comes." Sometimes, they'll strike a pose--hold out their hands or spread their legs, like I'm going to frisk them.
There are 32 of us, one for each NFL team, and our job is to make sure the players adhere to the league's dress code. I inspect both teams at Rams home games.
