Heaven forbid they wear thigh and knee pads. I see more NBA players wearing leggings with knee cushions in them more then NFL skill position players wearing leg and knee padding.
I can't imagine how fricked up the fingers/hands/forearms are of NFLers mid season.
and like you said, no one seems to have pads in their pants...

Marcus Allen used to get fined by the NFL because he always played without knee pads. He said they were worthless as protection and hindered his running.
Tailbone pad is probably the most useful pad in football regarding the lower body...Getting knocked on your arse can't be protected by going low.
Allen also wore small and light thigh pads...thinking them just heavy wastes of time. For a great running back, shoulder pad were everything and leg pads meant nothing.
