That might be a disadvantage compared to the stickum WRs and DBs used to cake an inch think on their hands back in the 70s and early 80s.



There was really only one egregious offender and that was Lester Hayes.

I think most receivers - in fact all would wear tacky gloves over that messy goop which was more mental than helpful.

Fred Biletnikoff was the offender

LeBron would fold like a pussy if he tried driving the lane vs the Pistons with Laimbeer et al
