Body types differ. My oldest son has the neck of a giraffe. Mine is about two inches long. No matter how much or how little I weigh, I appear to have hardly any neck at all.
When I tried to wear a dangly thingie, it kept getting caught up on my chest protector whenever I moved my head from one side to another. I stopped wearing it. With my neck, my face mask extension meets my the top of my chest protector.
Back to my son. His neck type created different problems. After an injury in high school wrestling from which he temporarily lost feelings in his arms and legs, we discovered that his neck type was prone to such injuries, and that, in fact, his doctor found that the NFL had commissioned a study regarding such a correlation. My son became part of that study. He, however, continued to wrestle and by the grace of God did not suffer further problems.
