The NFL may be in the midst of a lockout, but the doors are wide open for several dozen veteran players at a sprawling youth sports complex amid Disney's land of make-believe.

On a remote field at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex, one of the top football trainers in the business is making believers out of such stars as Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor and linebacker James Farrior, New England Patriots running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis, free-agent wide receiver Javon Walker and San Diego Chargers tackle Travis Johnson.

Renowned strength and conditioning wizard Tom Shaw can't help their dreams come true by ending the work stoppage. But he can have them in peak physical shape when the standoff ends...................

...................Last week Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes, MVP of Super Bowl XLIII, spent a week in Shaw's intense camp along with Jaguars wideout Mike Simms-Walker and Titans tailback Chris Johnson.

The numbers are impressive: Over the past decade, Shaw has trained:

122 first-round picks

8 eventual No. 1 selections in advance of the NFL draft...

And no fewer than 10 Super Bowl MVPs are Performance Enhancement alums

THAT is absolutely incredible!
