Whatever happened to the Neck Roll? (1 Viewer)

Which, a single-bar or the fey mock-turtleneck dickey that Theisman is clearly wearing.Pretty sure Scott Player was the last to rock the single bar tubular. As for the first? I'm sure a quick look on Google can confirm both first and last, but I thought that Paul Brown was the one who brought football facemasks to the NFL to begin with. So my guess would be an early Brown -- Otto Graham? Marion Motley? Bill Willis?
 
dan dierdorf is a great announcer and also had a very cool facemask that not many people remember because of all of his announcing and talking about other guys facemasks but it was pretty freeking sweet check it out brohans and as always take it to the bank

Awww yeaaah. Good call.Dierdorf sported numerous helmet configurations, all old school cage-style Thunderdomes including a great configuration when he broke his jaw.

Some other interesting masks:

Double-U

Plexi single bar (the other guy's nose was probably enough protection for him out in front of his face).

Full Lucite Backfield

Executioner Style

Double Single, only to be outdone by his teammate's Single/Double

Redundant supports

The Daffy Duck

LB DeMarcus Ware led the NFC linebackers in fan voting and is a shoo-in for his sixth straight Pro Bowl. He has 16 sacks this season. Ware (stinger) was limited in practice on Wednesday but he was fitted with a new neck roll and says he will play against the Eagles on Saturday after being in on only seven plays against the Buccaneers.
