In order to help protect against future concussions, Vick is planning to refit his helmet with Kevlar padding, the CEO of Unequaled Technologies told Paolantonio on Wednesday.

Rob Vito told ESPN that he will meet with Vick in Philadelphia on Friday to refit his helmet to help Vick deal with the post-concussive blows to the head in Sunday’s home opener against the New York Giants.

“The 100-year-old foam everybody is using in helmets is antiquated,” Vito said. “Concussions are the injury of our age and really they should not be happening anymore.”

Wait, does that work? And if so, why isn’t everyone in the NFL wearing Kevlar-lined helmets?
