Steelers WR to Wear Guardian Cap All Season

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie receiver Germie Bernard has announced he will wear a Guardian Cap all season for added protection against head trauma.

Appearing on the "Not Just Football with Cam Heyward" podcast, Bernard explained his decision to use the extra layer of protection. "I'm standing on it. I'm gonna wear it. Yes, the entire year," he stated, mentioning his concerns about long-term brain health. mchezo.co.za

The Guardian Cap, initially used only in practices, has become more common in games as players seek additional protection from head trauma. While some find the caps bulky and clunky, Bernard believes the potential safety benefits outweigh any aesthetic concerns, particularly for his longevity in the sport.
