It's a support thing, keeps the tendons from flexing the wrong way. Helps prevent injuries.

What Is A Knee Band?

Knee Bands or Straps are devices that focus compression on the patellar tendon to help decrease the stress at the tibial tubercle.  This stress is the cause of many orthopedic conditions including  Patella Tendonitis (jumper's knee/runner's knee) and Osgood Schlatter's disease.  Most knee bands are a one size fits most.

I think Arm Bands that the football players are wearing are dangerous...  I know if I was a coach I would not want my player wearing them...

Maybe he means Armed Bands.  You know those guys get really pissed when you call them band geeks.

I've got a mean version of bohemian rhapsody tucked in my belt and I'm not afraid to use it.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
