Philadelphia Eagles Using Helmet Cam For Birds-Eye View

The Philadelphia Eagles hope to stay on top of NFL tech innovation scene with their new helmet cams being used during training camp and preseason practices. The local CBS affiliate, CBS Philly, first broke the news last week that rookie defensive back, Blake Countess, was sporting a camera on his helmet in the hopes to gain a new perspective when reviewing video to correct mistakes.

The camera itself is a small device attached to the upper left side of the player’s helmet. When reviewing the footage taken by the helmet cam, players and coaches have a better way to see where a player is actually looking.
