In the NFL as of the 2007 season, only the quarterback is allowed to have a listening device in their helmet.
the official helmet company of the NFL is Riddell, so most players in the NFL wear those, because in order to wear any other helmet the players have to have the name of the company taken off the helmet. ive noticed that most players wear the Revolution Speed by Riddell. its the best helmet that Riddell produces. ive only seen two other players wearing a helmet by another company although im sure there are more, Chad Ochocinco and Justin Tuck both wear the Ion 4D by Schutt which is the best helmet made to this point.
You cannot tackle another player with your helmet. You can in fact tackle another player leading with your helmet...the rule is that you cannot make helmet to helmet contact with another player. That being said it is unsafe to lead with your helmet in any situation due to injury probability, you risk neck and head injuries when you lead with your helmet.
The NFL first introduced radios in helmets in 1956. However, they were later banned until 1994, and the original radio helmet is now in the football Hall of Fame.
The NFL salary cap came into effect in 1994 at a value of $34,600,000.
