James Develin neck/ back brace

[Yorkshire Pat]

Is the back/neck brace that he wears due to a prev injury or is it due to the bulldozer role he plays and need to prevent any whiplash injury.

It's called a "neck roll" and once was fairly common for players at certain positions. It helps prevent neck injuries.

There was a time when High School teams used them to make their players look bigger.

Real nice, PBPF. While you're at it, why don't you just look at a mirror and yell, "Candyman" five times?

I love Dev with the neck brace. Gives him that old school, tough guy nostalgia. Perfect prop for the perfect player.

thanks, we never needed equipment at school in england, just boots and football/soccer ball. The cost must be a lot to equip schools with all the gear and training equipment + officials/refs.
