NFL players will have no shortage of helmet choices for the 2024 season.
Judy Battista of NFL.com reported Tuesday there will be 12 new helmets in play during the upcoming campaign, including eight position-specific ones for quarterbacks, offensive linemen and defensive linemen.
The NFL and NFL Players Association conducted helmet testing and five that were tested performed better than any helmet previously worn in the league. What's more, six performed so well that those who wear them will not have to wear Guardian Caps during practices:
Quarterbacks can choose between two helmets that were designed to minimize the impact of the blows to the back of their heads they suffer when falling to the ground.
