That means Rodgers can use his current helmet for 2018, but it’s unlikely he’ll be able to use the same helmet for the 2019 season.

Rodgers has a unique helmet already

While it doesn’t necessarily pertain to helmet changes, Schutt also supplied us with some additional details about Rodgers’ helmet.

As we’ve written previously, Brett Favre’s chinstrap choices have influenced several generations of Packers passers, including Rodgers, who has adopted the two-point chinstrap attachment used by his predecessor.

But that decision would be a bit of a problem for Rodgers if he used a factory fresh version of the Schutt AiR XP Pro. That particular helmet model ships with a chinstrap attachment affixed to the helmet near a player’s temple area, which could be a safety issue if no chinstrap was attached.

As we can see in pictures of Rodgers from last season, there is no chinstrap attachment at that point on his helmet. Schutt says that is not their doing. Someone else removed them.

“If the chinstrap attachments were changed,” we were told in a statement, “this was likely done by the team or player."
