"Y’all might as well have a pump of sanitizers coming out of our uniforms too while y’all at it. I won’t wear it."
NFLPA medical director Thom Mayer had this response to the design:
“We’ve only had it on a few players — we have 2,500 players in the league — but I was surprised that ... claustrophobia has not been an issue yet. I think it will be when we have more players testing them.”
Mayer had previously suggested that players wear some type of face mask, but players rejected that idea.
Don't blame Mixon or the players rejecting the mask.
