Talk about your partnership with LIGHT helmets, and how they have impacted your playing career? “LIGHT helmets have been a great partnership. I’ve been able to learn the brand but at the same time, protect myself. I have worn the same style of helmet
for many years, up until I changed my helmet … As I’ve played and progressed each year I’ve tried to find better ways to protect myself … it starts with the helmet. I wanted to give myself the best opportunity from a collision standpoint. Doing some of the research, trying out the helmet, it was one of the most comfortable helmets I have ever put on. But also have the research backing the actual technology, too.” What does it mean to partner with a company that drives player safety? “It means a lot to me … I’m always trying to find ways that I can get better. Looking into changing the helmet and giving myself more protection. Also, it spoke volumes to me to not only make the
change for myself but also to be able to impact the kids back home in my hometown and my high school. I was able to partner with LIGHT helmets and get them new sets of helmets. You want to be able to share the information that you’ve given with others.” More news: Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford Free Agency Prediction Sends Veterans to Shocking Teams Taylor has been promoting player safety through LIGHT helmets on top of agreeing with league-wide changes.
