Through a new state-of-the-art 3D scanning process, football manufacturing company Riddell is hoping to help curb the reported increase in football-related concussions, especially in youth athletes, and continue to provide a heightened level of player safety.
The Rosemont, Ill.-based company publicly debuted its new Precision-Fit protective helmet equipment this past weekend, a new technology that has already been utilized by 30-plus college football teams, including Rutgers, Michigan State and Florida in addition to seven NFL teams such as the Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami Dolphins. According to Riddell, a broader rollout is expected during the 2018 season.
