Might sound weird but I play both O and D line and I wear a visor everytime I play. I would 100% STRONGLY suggest you wear a visor not because you look cool or anything but my lineman out there know how it is in them trenches and it get dirty FAST ! All the face mask and hand to the face is crazy and just all the physicality in them trenches is crazy. 100% rock a visor. now im not saying go out and get a BLACKED OUT one but get one for sure better safe than sorry y'all. #TrenchGang

[@massacmongo995]

As a High School and D2 player from the 1970s I would have LOVED to had a visor . As a DL and LB i personally had several incidents where my eyes were poked and scratched . I even had a OL get his finger hung in my cage . You might mention how a "stiff arm " often results in a back or wide out actually getting away with a Facemask

[@joshwagner5414]

Playing in the cold in Minnesota, wearing a visor was nice when it was windy because it helped keep your eyes from getting too dry, and it helps keep you warm

[@matthewpretula]

I play offensive line and have been rocking a visor all year and I love it to be honest, I've managed to get turf in my eye a couple times and I hate it(from the pancakes obviously lol) also I think it looks awesome, also great video man!

[@7supreme]

Reason no. 6 for wearing a visor: For those trash players who like to spit. Showing the ref his spit on your visor gets an instant flag and possible ejection for the next time they spit.

I decided to get freaky after college ball & got an Oakley visor to play Arena ball in. first few practices in, i was SPENT, gasping for air and re-thinking my choice (plus the fog). Then like you said, I got used to it. And yeah, subconsciously for me I was ready to smash my head into anyone with it on.

[@xlmarixl-7266]

OMG i couldn't find you Chanel for like two years bruh you was like the drippiest fooball player on youtube🥶

[@ChefofWar33]

Id say it really depends a lot on your position. Guys that generally don't need field awareness like running backs, offensive line, and defensive centers probably would be way better off with visors. Guys that need that extra awareness and arent at the biggest risk of heavy hits are probably QB's, WR's, safeties, and linebackers. Guys that need awareness and protection need to make that judgment call for themselves. Guys like tight end's, corner's, defensive end's, most special team units.

[@kzpops2079]

LT said he wore the visor so no one could see where his eyes were focusing so he could make it harder for defenders to predict where he was gonna run.

[@soysauce6534]

The reason to wear visors imo is because in hs football a lot of facemask penalties are unnoticed. Especially if you’re a hb like me. So I want one so they can’t grab my mask
