Normally the black bands are to pay homage for a lost loved one or friend.

Some of them are sweat bands that mostly just look cool but supposedly help keep sweat at bay
Also I thnk some of them might be elastic bands that supposedly help releive wear and tear on their joints? I know there is a similar thing for knees, not sure if they use them for elbows as well

A lot of times they're worn by players to protect their arms from rug burns when playing on artificial turf.

WRs will hide their sticky tacky adhesive underneath to rub on their fingertips before plays :)

Those who wear them will tell you they are to help with perspiration. Mostly, they are just either for show or a habit.

Maybe its to show their feeling of remorse at the death of the corner back from Denver.

I'm pretty sure it's to prevent them from over-extending their arms.
