Amidst all the other COVID-19 craziness going on right now, the NFL has reportedly proposed making every player wear a helmet bolstered with a face shield, presumably to prevent a player from coughing/sneezing/spitting or otherwise getting breath droplets that carry COVID-19 on other players. On the surface it makes sense, but there’s a lot of debate on about the potential oxygen inhibition potentially created by masks that are mandated all over the land. Surely if oxygen may not pass through a cotton mask as easily as it should, passing through a plexiglass face shield could prevent problems.
That’s where the greatest defensive player in Houston history takes umbrage with the whole idea.
