Apparently the NOCSAE will not certify a helmet that is more than 10 years old. So that makes it even more weird if true.

If the article is accurate he could still wear the same model helmet if it was a a new one. So he just doesn't want a new one of the same model for some reason. Superstition maybe or maybe the helmet he has been using hasn't protected his head enough?? I don't know... But hey if the guy wants to give up 10's of millions of dollars over a helmet I suppose he can afford to do so.
One thing that makes the article linked above seem strange to me is I didn't think any NFL players used the same exact helmet for a long amount of time much less 10 years. I figured they got beat up and had to be replaced from time to time.
the manufacturer no longer makes that model so he needs to change models
