In the first couple years people didn't wear gloves. These days almost all skill position players wear gloves. Quarter back almost never wear gloves. Gloves these days the ball practically sticks to your hands. Some of the most popular are Vapor Jet 3.0 shown above and the Adidas 5 star 3.0. Almost all of the wide receivers wear gloves. They give you a better grip and you'll probably catch balls that you wouldn't have caught.
