New York Times  

While watching a football game in the early 2010s, Per Reinhall was struck by the sound of helmets violently clashing together. “Linear acceleration is front-back, left-right — and that doesn’t seem to cause concussions much in the NFL versus angular or rotational,” Mayer said. “It’s that twisting motion that seems to make the biggest difference.” By then, VICIS had already …

Football helmets for specific positions have been a goal for many years among NFL health and safety experts, at least since the mid-2010s as the league began investing in protective headgear technology amid concerns about concussions. “And so we hope to hear back about those results, like I said, in March and, you know, we feel confident that they will …
