Atlanta Falcons veteran offensive guard Jamon Brown, a Louisville native who has been on the frontline in protesting the killing of Breonna Taylor by Louisville police officers, plans to wear Taylor's name on his helmet this season to keep her memory alive and bring more awareness to racial injustice.
As reported by The Undefeated on Monday, a memo confirmed the NFL will give players the option to wear helmet decals honoring victims of systemic racism. The death of Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman who worked as a medical emergency technician, has sparked a national outcry and contributed to the movement for racial equality and the end of police brutality.
