It’s designed to crumple on impact

 

that’s awesome. Some DE can pick up the “skull crusher” nickname 

Miles Garrett would already have that if he would have been holding that helmet the other way around.

Screw the other positions amirite 

There's already a "trenches" version of the Vicis helmet designed to provide extra support, padding, and deflection to frontal helmet hits that Offensive and Defensive lineman regularly experience. This "QB" version is designed to help reduce injury for helmet to ground hits, which QBs experience far more frequently than other players.

Your telling me there isnt some futuristic padding they can create to put inside helmets that 100% absorbs all shock or at least close to it.

Even if helmets have to become a little bit bigger for it to happen, I would rather all players look like Blowpops running around than see guys continue to get concussions
