Soon, it won't matter whether a high school player in Colorado suits up for the smallest six-man football team or one of the state's powerhouse, big-school programs -- they'll all be wearing the latest in football helmets.
That's because, over the next four years, the Denver Broncos will donate more than 15,000 Riddell Axiom football helmets to every high school program in the state.
The Broncos announced the program, which the team has called "All In, All Covered," on Tuesday. The donations will include every high school team in the state's highest classification, 5A.
"For us to be able to be here [Tuesday] to share in that opportunity is just hard to wrap our minds around," Colorado High School Activities Association commissioner Mike Krueger said Tuesday in a press conference with Broncos officials.
