This is pretty understandable. Someone who only speaks in standard english would understand this. They may not understand that Xenith and Riddell make American Football kit and are companies for the sport or that the word safety is a position in the sport, also the word safety is an abbreviation for Strong Safety and Free Safety.

Malachi : WR shoulder pads
WR means Wide Receiver which is mainly know to people who play the sport or watch it. WR is a contraction.

Slang : Slang can be used to shorten words or talk to different groups of people. For example, If I was with my friends I would talk in an informal way in front of them, as if I were talking to someone of a higher status I would talk in a more formal manor.

Omission: An Omission can show where missing words or letters in a word were. In any given case, if I said I’m instead of I am that would be omission.
