Quarterback's head armor
A football helmet is protective headgear worn by American football players, featuring a hard outer shell, internal padding, and a face mask.
Modern helmets include chin straps and increasingly sophisticated designs to reduce concussion risk.
The helmet is the sport's most recognizable piece of equipment: He tucked the football helmet under his arm as he walked off the field.
