Well then......  this quote is worded stupidly.  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

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

I would definitely have to disagree on that.  Unless they are going to change the rule on required thickness of the knee pad.

Yet boxers still get knocked out with thick gloves and head gear..  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 

 
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.
