What the hell is that thing that the 49er guy is wearing?? It looks like an old rusted out helmet sitting on top of another helmet. Did the league actually use that thing??

Steve Wallace is the guy in that picture. He used that helmet and it probably extended his playing days at the end of his career. Here's a brief article about him using it: Steve Wallace and NFL Concussions: The Solution Was Found Years Ago | Bleacher Report
