Daily News | ‘We look a little goofy:’ Eagles players on wearing the new Guardian Cap
center Jason Kelce walked on to the field Friday with bubble wrap around his helmet. Why? “Just havin’ fun.”
Although some have said it’s not aesthetically pleasing, NFL offensive and defensive linemen, tight ends and linebackers are required to wear it hoping it will decrease the rate of concussions players can suffer this time of year. “I mean, they said a Guardian Cap adds 20% protection — figure the bubble wrap gave me another two or three.”
Players will have to wear the padded shell until the third preseason week, when teams usually ease the amount of contact in practice.
