The NFL is improving its stance toward concussion protocol and they coordinated extensive laboratory research with biomechanical experts to see which helmets reduce head impact severity. We also have the Top 10 fan bases, according to Colin Cowherd (hint, he’s not a Browns fan) and Aaron Donald’s commitment to the Pitt Football Championship Fund.
The newest helmet laboratory testing
After about 50 percent of players experienced upgrades to better-performing helmets following the issue of the last year’s poster, the NFL took another laboratory test to find out which ones are the best at protecting heads and therefore, minimizing the severity of injuries.
Here’s the poster that will be shared w/ all NFL players, team medical, training, coaching & equipment staffs to help inform equipment choices. @NFLPA & @NFL appoint biomechanical engineers to test helmets. pic.twitter.com/x4Zy2Fc6fY
