Some American football players wear eye black grease. Does it give them any advantage?

It helps with bright lights especially outside on sunny days it stops the glare.
It actually does help alot when you are trying to track a high kick or pass. Not as well as a tinted visor but those visors a terrible unless it is really bright otherwise yiou can't focus on the ball.

Eye black is a grease applied under the eyes to reduce glare. It is often used by baseball and American football players, where sunlight or stadium lights can impair vision of an airborne ball.

The black marks absorb light (not reflect) so they can see better.
The only advantage it gives is the ability to see, or at least think that they see better.
