I would think with running backs and full backs it is so the ball doesn't slip on their sweaty arms when they cradle it. every one else I'm sure it is just looks.

The captain of the football team has a band around his upper arm.

It's put there so that the seat don't run down their arms onto their hands so that they can have a better grip on the football.
