The NFL and NFLPA have just approved the first quarterback-specific helmet designed to reduce the risk of concussions! It's a Vicis-created helmet which has been tested against helmet-to-ground collisions, the cause of almost half of all quarterback concussions. After analyzing data from over 1,000 concussions, the NFL executive Jeff Miller said that the helmet performed 7% better than the most popular headgear worn last season. This is exciting news, as the helmet has been designed with a deformable outer shell to absorb impacts from any location. The NFL and player's union are also sharing this data with teams and players, so that quarterbacks can make informed decisions about their headgear for the future. This helmet is not just for QBs, but also for offensive and defensive linemen. We are thrilled to see the steps being taken to protect the health of football players and hope that this is just the beginning!
