Green dot on QB's helmets?

Has anyone else noticed a green stikcer/ dot on the back of all the QB's helmets?

Anyone know what its for? I would imagine its so in practice you dont hurt him when he has his back to you, but I know the QB's wear a red shirt during practice.

  • It is to distinguish the helmets with headsets in them.

    It means an electrical receiver for communication from the sidelines is hooked up to his helmet, and the green dot is a warning for others close by not to trip over the cord.

    I will report to the joint chiefs you were paying attention. I'm sure you will earn another star for this.
