🏈 Shoulder Pads

[It Takes Eleven]

I know jerseys are far more form fitting, but are y'all noticing much, much smaller shoulder pads that sit up higher and many times expose player's shoulder? The trend seemed to start a few years ago with defensive linemen to allow them to get through gaps, but they seem to be shrinking at every position now.

Less weight means faster and more agile player?

True, but a separated shoulder's bad news.

I was looking at Leigh Tiffen on the sidelines yesterday and his Shoulder Pads are so small, it looks like he is wearing none at all.

He's the kicker for Pete Sakes. I wonder who Pete is? No wait you were making a little joke. Thanks Mr. Obvious. :lol:
