If you are considering the first football players everthen no they did not. Mostly because they didnt know about pads then. :D hope i helped
November 27,1906
The first football game was played in Rutgers University. they wore regular attire but wore a leather hat which eventually became a helmet. they wore no shoulder pads, knee pads or thigh pads. eventually Football spread throughout the country and became a national sport
Yes, I play football at the Pro level and there are many skilled position players as well as special teams players that only wear shoulder pads and helmets.. In practice we sometimes only wear shoulder pads and helmets we call it pro-pads we also wear this during training camp a lot and when we are not going to hit full speed.

I used to play high school football and normally you don't need help the trick is to put your shirt on your pads first
Yes they do the pads are located on the shoulders like football players
Yes they do.
They started to wear pads because some football players started to get hurt so that's why the have to wear pads.- The Lister Answers
helment pads shoes ect
To protect their shoulders.
I have read in a book that the first football pads were leather helmets and that was it. No other pads but leather helmets.
They wear many.... you have your basic shoulder pads, knee pads, hip pads,thigh pads tail bone pads and your cup.
They wear a cup and protective pads
Cleats, hopefully socks, football pants(Which hold knee pads), A girdle( Another protective piece, it holds pads in various spots.), Pads,Helmet, A jersey, and sometimes gloves.

footballers were shin pads to protect their shins when a player slide tackles them
High school and college players are required to wear; helmet, mouth piece, shoulder pads, hip pads, a butt pad, thigh pads, knee pads, and clears. A lot of the time you'll see nfl players not using their knee pads and or thigh pads bc they aren't required
