When the Chiefs brought out a new, state-of-the-art football helmet by Vicis this offseason, receiver Chris Conley saw it and had one thought.
“Whenever they bring something new and shiny in, I’m like ‘Can I get one?’” Conley said with a laugh. “I’m like, ‘It’s a new helmet, I just cut my hair, can I get one?’ And they were like ‘Sure, try it out.’”
Then he watched a video of the helmet in action. It was strapped to a crash-test dummy that was then run into a wall at 100 mph.
“I don’t expect to be doing that,” Conley said, clearly amused at the thought.
