The NFL and NFLPA released the results of their annual helmet safety tests on Friday, ranking the VICIS Zero1 as the top-performing helmet for the third straight year. Models from Schutt, Riddell, and Xenith were also listed in the top 10.
This was the fifth straight season of offseason laboratory tests contracted by the league in conjunction with the players association and conducted at Biokinetics in Ottawa. Jeff Miller, the NFL’s EVP for health and safety, took a moment on a conference call to “underline the level of collaboration” between the two sides. Full results are available on the NFL’s Play Smart, Play Safe website.
