SEATTLE (AP) — The NFL says the first position-specific helmet created for its players represents a major step in helmet technology, though it must still undergo testing by the league and the players’ union before being authorized for use.

The helmet released this week by VICIS provides additional support in the front, where most head impacts take place for offensive and defensive linemen.
