I feel like they could make a helmet with this padding built on the shell instead of it being attached/placed on top of the helmet.

It’s one thing to wear these on the practice field… but with the world watching and highlights recorded for posterity?

No way in HELL an NFL player wears that unless it is mandated. Yeah yeah, players are soft these days, whatever. It is still an alpha sport with alpha run locker rooms. He would be laughed out of the league.

Just playing devils advocate, how can this possibly have any impact at all on concussions? It does nothing to prevent the brain from hitting the inside wall of the skull.

For instance, a player is tackled and is falling backwards while is his head is whiplashed into the ground. The ground didnt cause the condition, his brain being thrust in a downward trajectory and abruptly being slammed to the interior wall of the skull will cause the concussion. How does this helmet stop that in any way?

Most don't wear mouthpieces or kneepads either. This won't be a thing.

Perfect. Now owners can say, “You should have worn more protection.” They’re getting tired of the concussion lawsuits from former players.
