My next question would be then, why use the technique they are using. It looks like once the arms are at full extension you have reached the as far as you can go. Which in this case was parallel.

 

Also, apologize for being the uniformed lifter on the board! :frenchy

 

Puts less stress on shoulders and elbows which are common football injuries. Also helps with your posture so you can be more upright. Some lifters really struggle with keeping good posture and having your hands on the handles in front of you allow you to keep your head and chest up. It is a safer lift for athletes to still get the benefits of traditional rear squat.

So does he need to have a lower hold on the squat rack? Otherwise isn't he doing as much as he can?

He could grab lower on the rack with his hands. They have handles to put in the rack that you can grab onto them and not hold the rack, but he is just grabbing the rack. Maliek Collins had a video of him doing 785 pounds as a reference, but Maliek went a little deeper in the squat.

And In the end...he is lifting for football...not a power lifting competition.

Proper technique applies to anybody who is lifting, not just power lifting.

Sure, if you are thinking about avoiding injury. I think teach was referencing that the "proper" technique can vary by the desired result. e.g. Dropping full-squat to catch a clean is "proper" but not nearly as useful to a football player as generating enough force to catch it near vertical.

Truth. I can see that perspective. There is a some variations to the Olympic lifts that can be more sport specific, or help prevent injury/wear and tear.
