Why Doesn't Connor Wear Bigger Pads?

He's still wearing what look like Pop Warner pads compared to what Tajh Boyd wears, for example.

I know he needs range of motion but so do other quarterbacks that seem to wear flak jackets compared to what Connor wears.

I want Connor to truly "run" again instead of just taking off to the sideline at any hint of danger. Since he is recovering from a pretty severe injury, why aren't they changing his pad configuration to give him significantly more protection?

Connor's greatest threat is when he tucks it and runs... and cuts back upfield, making one juke to get past a defender. He hasn't been doing that for some time now because his highest priority is not taking hits.

 
It's probably just his personal preference.
