Why doesn't he wear pads that protect him more like most QB's? Just want him to stay healthy. Any of you other know it alls have his reasoning?

Actually, I bet that was very true so far in his life.

A DE in college will put a hit on him just to let him feel it even if he has to take the late hit penalty, and his coach will approve!!!

Same reason most football players don't wear a cup. It isn't comfortable and hurts their performance but when they realize they should've been wearing one I bet they'll wish they were.

Shown in HS/Spring game and they had a little time in between snaps to talk about how he looks so much smaller than he really is because he doesn't wear pads over his ribs and chest and smaller shoulder pads due to personal preference.

In spring practice and spring game, he couldn't be tackled. Wait until live contact -you will see the pads. and a lot of them don't wear them in HS.

GUESSING COLLEGE IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THAN HIGH SCHOOL AND A GAME WHERE NO ONE WAS ALLOWED TO HIT HIM. BUT LIKE YOU SAT IT IT PERSONAL PREFERENCE. KNOW ONE WILL KNOW UNTIL AT LEAST AUGUST.

when I was there the small pads were actually called QB pads, didn't restrict their passing motion. Lot of kickers wear them also.

It may change. I am just thinking about his past and what he is wearing now.

nobody would wear pads if they didn't need them
Jul 3, 2018, 3:47 PM

they're all pretty uncomfortable. But necessary. My guess is you'll see TLAW sporting a cam newton style rib protector wrap come game time. Those boys from FSU aren't getting any smaller.

I was thinking the same thing......TL is taller but has a thin frame just like DW4 when he came to Clemson......and DW4 had trouble staying healthy that first season because of his lanky frame..... hope TL can put on some weight (and pads) before season starts so he does not run into the same problems.....Go Tigers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He wears the thinner rib pads, not the bulkier, obvious rib pads. No, not sure if he wore them in April. On a similar note: I can not wait for our fans (and opponents) to see how fast TL really is when he has to "tuck the ball and take off". The man can run very swiftly.
