- Speaking Of Noggins: We were reminded in the first minicamp practice on Tuesday, and quite possibly the last, that the NFL had mandated back in the spring offensive and defensive linemen, linebackers and tight ends to wear what's called Guardian Caps in practice from now through the second preseason game. These waffle-looking, soft-padded cushions fit over the helmets, and the manufacture's claim they will reduce impacts to the head by as much as 33 percent, helping greatly to reduce concussion incidents. Hey, whatever helps.
I've got a cousin out of San Antonio who was part of the group who invented these helmets several years ago. It's taken them a while to get exposure and blossom. It's amazing how these Guardian Cap helmets have now reached the NFL. I'm sure colleges and high schools will be purchasing and using them as well.
Wow, talk about striking it rich with such a great safety helmet concept.
