Shoulder Pads:

There are 4 brands that I can recommend to you guys. For QBs and WRs I think mobility is key and when you’re trying on shoulder pads- you want to be able to touch your hands over your head. These are the best pads I’ve seen players that I train wear and that I have personally worn. 

X-Tech- these are worn by all professional QBs and are extremely light. Only negative about these pads are that they can be a little expensive.

Xenith Brand (newer versions)- These are more affordable than the X-Tech pads I believe. They are extremely similar and give QBs & WRs a lot of mobility

2 In 1 Shoulder Pads- these are the coolest pads I have seen and what I would have worn if they were around when I played. You essentially put on a vest and then a carbon fiber plate over the vest (which is like the chest plate of normal shoulder pads). It looks like you don’t even have pads on and you have an insane amount of mobility. The only problem is that these will run you over $500. Which is ridiculous but if you can afford it- then I highly recommend. 

Rawlings SRG QB/WR Pads- this was a referral from an NFL QB when I played. He told me to get these pads. Super cheap and some of the most comfortable pads I’ve ever worn. I don’t know if they make them anymore but if you can find a pair these are the best pads possible. Especially for QBs who need comfort and mobility/ affordability for the parents.
