Athletic apparel and sports medical products manufacturer McDavid has revealed that Denver Broncos' number one draft pick Knowshon Moreno is to wear its protective gear.

Mr Moreno is to wear the company’s Hexpad products during the 2009 and 2010 National Football League seasons. "When playing my position, you get hit and deliver hits so often, you need every layer of protection you can find," he says. "McDavid's protective gear will help shield my body from some of the pains of playing running back.”

McDavid outfits the University of Georgia, where Moreno used to play, along with 75 other US universities and colleges. It also provides protective apparel for professional athletes including Dwyane Wade and Corey Maggette.
