So, usually NFL players wear the same pair of cleats throughout the season because they like to break them in so they feel good. This is not the case with Jared Allen, currently a player for the Minnesota Vikings. Instead of staying with the same pair of cleats he buys a new pair every game. He also does this with his gloves. In this video he describes some of his past superstitions, and the one about the cleats and gloves.
As we can see Allen use to have some pretty crazy superstitions in the past. It seems as if they're working for him though because he continues to preform well on the field year in and year out. Here's some quick information about his career so far: He is a two time pro bowler, played for the Kansas City Chiefs from 2004-2008 and was traded to his current team the Minnesota Vikings.

This is a blog by a group of college students (Josh, Meagan, Heather, Chris, and Dylan) discussing the ridiculous superstitions that go on in professional football. From crazy pregame rituals to what the players wear on game-day, we will try to figure out what the heck these players are thinking. These pro athletes believe something as small as their facial hair or "the Madden curse" can impact how they play the game, pretty crazy huh? This is the side of the NFL that fans rarely get to see...
