New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton is optimistic that helmet safety in the NFL will improve at "warp speed" over the next couple of years.
As a guest on Russillo and Kanell on ESPN Radio on Friday, Payton said he's concerned about player safety in the short term, and helmets should be a top priority (via Mike Triplett of ESPN.com).
"I think the health ramifications and where we need to go, pushing the envelope quickly to catch up to speed with what we're dealing with—I would say, simply, start with the helmet," he said.
