Why fail? Receivers have always had less padding than RBs. LaDainian's are relatively non existent.

If you notice, its the skill position guys. It is done to reduce weight, so they aren't slowed down.

less pads = lighter

less bulk = greater range of motion

A lot of players don't even wear leg pads anymore.

I can not understand why they would go with less pads since the pads helped protect Earl Cambell from chronic injury. He is a walking testament to wearing more pads.
