Can I ask a question ... not trying to highjack your thread.
I notice many NFL players wear what looks like a fabric over their boots - like a wrap or glove.
See the third photo in this series.
Can anyone tell me why? What is its purpose?

Keep their cleats on? Extra ankle support? :mrgreen:

The cleats are taped on so they stay tight. I used to do it when I was playing, stops the feet from slipping around inside the shoe during sharp cuts.

Thanks for that - I like watching NFL. Some truly spectacular athletes.
The commentary usually is too fast, and uses "slang", for me to make a lot of sense of though.
Again - much appreciated for your answers.

Our footy over there in Oz is much more exciting, mate! At least I think so...and they didn't have all those clothes around them either. Here when it rain, the game stops. Over there muddy conditions makes it more adrenalin filled...Love Aussie Rules better.

Anyway, I like the last one better...

Aussie Rules is a great game to watch. In North American these guys are bigger, faster, play regardless of the conditions, and they hit harder. Two completely different games.
