The guy is a stud with big play capability.

He fell wrong and got injured. First game last year, he did the same thing. Fell on his elbow and was out the rest of the year.

They give him better range of motion to catch balls above his head. Ed McCaffrey used to wear pads that looked like pee wee football pads for the same reason. It’s hard to catch a ball over your helmet with Eric Dickerson style pads.

All that said, you’re right that his nonexistent pads are a major reason he tends to get hurt all the time.

Could be a very dangerous team.
