No different than the helmets Don Bebe and Steve Young wore except their extra.padding was exterior on the helmets.

Looked just as weird, IMO.

The biggest aspect of the helmet is the smart technology that is connected to Riddell’s new InSite Analytics software. The software allows teams to view head impact date on individual players and position group analysis.

The helmet also includes flex system panels to improve impact response and a new facemask that is intended to better manage and respond to the energy of an impact. Riddell also installed a panoramic visor that strengthens the facemask structure and provides a better view of the field.

I think the league is doing all they can to lesson head injuries and players should take advantage of it.

That's very cool.
Slightly off-topic, but I wonder if QB's can wear a shaded visor.
Might help with the fact DB's and LB's can't see their eyes.

I hear it also has technology kind of like some cars where if you are leading with your helmet, it automatically swerves.

All fine and dandy, but does it come with an airbag.?:muttley:

Sounds cool, I guess, but what happens when a big hit is registered and the player is fine or when a small hit is registered and a player is not fine? How do you use that data? Humans are so variable that I don't think you can look at a single data point.

What, did they design a new helmet to accommodate the caveman look that he still thinks is attractive?

He looks like a power ranger. In all seriousness I hope this helps, especially after Marion Barber and Vincent Jackson just suffered from possible CTE

It wont. And Riddell doesnt care.

CTE for them is just a chance for their advertising departement to sell new stuff.

I like the model more with an open visor. So i can see his beautiful eyes.
