Chris Olave Explains Decision to Change Helmet to Guardian Cap in Saints' NFL Opener vs. Lions

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was seen wearing a Guardian Cap in Sunday's season opener against the Detroit Lions, and he explained after the game why he switched from his regular helmet.

"I know all the head injuries I've had in my career, so it was just a decision I had made. I got kids now, I want to be able to live the long game, it's not all about football," Olave told reporters. "I want to live regular life after I'm done with football, I love my kids to death. I don't really care how it looks no more, I just gotta throw it on. Shoot, it did me good today, for sure."
