The USFL made its 2022 debut on Saturday, and one player’s insane dedication to dental hygiene stood out.
During the league’s inaugural game between the New Jersey Generals and the Birmingham Stallions, linebacker DeMarquis Gates went viral after he was seen playing with a floss pick in his mouth.

Fans were genuinely concerned for Gates during the game.
I respect the changes the @USFL is trying to make to the game of football, but a floss pick on the field? This is wildly odd. #USFLonNBC pic.twitter.com/t8TDr35B1E

Watching the @USFL. Man is using a floss pick for a mouth piece. Seems dangerous, but then again so is neglecting oral hygiene. pic.twitter.com/tUr8zAkrAg
