I wonder why helmets aren't covered with a soft outer shell. It would have to be a lot safer and prevent injuries.

I have thought about this same topic many times and considered starting a thread. My hypothesis is that leatherheads would make guys tackle correctly or they die. You choose the ending

It doesn't matter if you "tackle correctly" helmet to helmet hits happen because offensive players lower their head

We're more comfortable with brain trauma taking place slowly and out of sight over many years than we are with seeing players convulsing on the field and bleeding out of their ears.
