Most OLinemen wear them now, it's nothing to be alarmed about. It just helps them with support, and decreases the chance of injury.
He is one tough SOB! Add in his size, 4.5 speed, and willingness to make the difficult catch, and we have ourselves a true #2 reciever.
well his knees are supporting 310 pounds of man, im pretty sure the braces help... you're being paranoid :wink:
When they were reporting from the Jets training camp on NFL network the other day it looked like all of the linemen were wearing braces. Wonder if it's mandatory. I think it was mandatory at New England because I remember noticing that every single lineman had them on. Must be one of Mangini's things.
I wouldn't be suprised. I think it is a good idea. Its easy have a leg landed on with all the falling bodies at the line.
