Just curious. I see a lot of team's players wearing them. Lavar had one on a couple games ago. Is it a coaches rule?

Maybe cause when you start sweating you can't see jack shite out of them.

No for their facemasks

They put so much eye black on it blocks out the sun.

Must have written proof that it is needed for play (eye doctors prescription), most schools just get their dr. to write one for each player. LSU doesn't.

I think that's just an NFL rule for dark tinted visors.

LSU just doesn't. I don't know why.

No, NFL can wear whatever. College has to wear clear unless they have a prescription to wear dark.

Didn't Chevis Jackson or Zenon have to get the waiver to wear the dark a few back because of an injury? I thought that was brought up.

I'm positive it's the other way around. The NFL doesn't exactly have a "whatever you feel like" policy on their uniforms.

Im almost positive I remember hearing in the NFL you had to have a medical reason to wear them. I feel like it was talked about for a while with the saints because Bobby McCray had a blacked out visor.

Tactical advantage. Easier to draw a facemask penalty.

It was either Chevis Jackson or Claiborne that got poked in the eye and they came out with a dark tinted visor and had to go backout and change it to a clear one I believe.
Pretty sure the NFL players wear whatever they want. Landanian Tomlinson has always wore a dark one so te defense cannot read his eyes. There is nothing wrong with his eyes.
Wish LSU wore them though.

chevis wore a tinted one for a few games after his eye surgery, and yes it was brought up. he had to switch to a clear visor. he was using the tinted one even at night due to the light sensitivity
