I have played football....its not as much padding as you think. And i'm sorry but when you have a 325 pound defensive end that runs a 4.9 40 that lays into you with the upmost hatred......don't give me any crap about soccer players getting spiked in the shin. Or how about a 6'4 linebacker that is as strong as a tank blindsiding you over the middle in mid-air. Same difference.
