What's the deal with him un-snapping it after every play, re-snapping it as he walks to the LOS? He's done that for a long as I can remember. Don't know about college.
But I did the exact same thing when I played. For some reason, I HATED that damn thing. Wish they had a helmet that didnt require a chin strap. I played defense, but I still couldnt stand the feeling of it being bound on my chin.
I played D too. Chin strap never bothered me. I didn't have to talk though.
In my adult life I played organized ice hockey a few years. I wore my chinstrap and wore it tight. Didn't bother me to talk or yell. But it wasn't loud at our rink like it is in an NFL stadium.
on any of the three teams I played for that always did that. Guess I am just weird...I played middle line backer though, and I usually called the plays for the DC....still hated it though.
