Seems to be some style many of the Pitt defenders wear. The LBers and Whitehead as well.

I've seen these on players from other teams as well. They look like long Bermuda shorts with some padding. Absolutely no protection for the knees.
 
Re: Ejaun - you have to give this man a ton of credit given the bends and turns his career has taken. Wasn't he an tOSU recruit who transferred? Then the season ending injuries. This year and last are like manna from heaven for him. He IS the picture of perseverance. Glad it paid off for him. (And for the record he could just show up in his jock strap or sweat pants for all I care as long as he keeps playing like he is.)

Pads can't protect the knees from anything beyond a rug burn anyways.
 
I remember Rod Woodson for the steelers being one of the first football players who wouldn't wear any pads at all in his pants. I mean no knee pads which is more common than not, no thigh pads, of course no hip and tail pads which are almost dating myself by even mentioning that.. Thought that was crazy but it's pretty much common place now..

I agree. He was a huge recruit that we lost to OSU when The Wanny Fiasco started. He came in under Graham and sat the year. Then injury the next 2 years. He battled back and preserved. That perseverance is really going to pay off in a this coming draft. While he is a tweener making him hard to project at the next level, the dude is a play-maker and some one is going to give him an opportunity.

He is a tweener but if he can stay healthy, he projects to be an edge LB in the NFL, and potentially a very good one. Like Harrison he is explosive and plays with a lot of leverage.

exactly. he is too explosive for Scouts to worry that he is not an exact fit. He really is the definition of a play-maker,
