Better to remain a tight end than a wide receiver. I hate to say thisI really, really do but if you play a contact position of any kind, your going to get you a$$ kicked. If I were playing guys football against a girl, I'd make a point to show you why I didn't go out for the girl's softball team. If you aren't given special treatment, you're gonna get hurt.

As long as he's doing it, let him be a little paranoid. Plain jersey work gloves can be had for a dollar, and a simple dust mask for about the same ought to satisfy him.
