They say that everything in the NFL filters up from college. One of those changes is the way that Riddell manufactures helmets.
Two years after their Precision Fit system was unveiled, more and more Bengals are opting for. Most of those are first- or second-year players who used the system in college, like Billy Price and Joe Mixon.
From there, equipment manager Adam Knollman can get Riedell to use the players’ scans to create the customized padding that goes on the inside of the shell.
“Part of our job is to educate the players on the safest helmets available,” Knollman said, via the team’s website.
