Says previous Rule recommended.. then it's not a rule it's a recommendation. I also don't agree with it. I don't think DBs should have to wear them. They aren't taking shots to knees on every play or the lower half of their body like a ball carrier would. Lbs get cut more often and are in the mix more often. But again the knee pad is really just gonna keep you from getting bruised. Thanks for the info tho Edited January 26, 2018 by MyBloodIsRed16 Quote Link to comment

Thanks for the info tho A lot of people believe that wearing knee pads also help keep other players from getting concussions due to the impact being softened instead of getting a bare knee to the side of the helmet Quote Link to comment

Unless they are going to change the rule on required thickness of the knee pad. Quote Link to comment

Huskinator Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Any actual news on this kid? Is he a Florida lean like it looks? Can we take the pad talk to another discussion? 1 Quote Link to comment

I also played the game and didn't like to wear thick knee pads. In my experience it was the size of the leg the knee was attached to that accounted more for the likelihood of you getting concussed. Not the size of the knee pad Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Word from auburn is they all the sudden don’t know what’s going on here. Lots of Florida picks but they believe N is a serious contender due to chance for early PT. Quote Link to comment

No way JJB told them he was N on his visit to AM. Could be an exciting few days ahead. Quote Link to comment
