Antonio Brown Found a New Helmet and the Raiders Can Rejoice
By Michael Luciano
There are many great moments in the history of football that will stand the test of time. Dwight Clark's catch against the Cowboys, Malcolm Butler at the goal line, and, of course, Antonio Brown finally finding a helmet that he likes to wear.
After being told that he couldn't wear his preferred Schutt Air Advanatge after it failed to meet safety standards, the Oakland Raiders wide receiver will instead sport a Xenith Shadow, which retails at around $479, when the Raiders face the Denver Broncos on Monday Night.
After the summer drama, Raiders’ WR Antonio Brown has opted to play this season in a Xenith Shadow helmet. Brown believes the Xenith Shadow makes him feel more agile and comfortable, and allows for better visibility.

To give credit where credit is due, Mr. Big Chest did pick a nice-looking helmet, as the sleek feel it has will earn him high marks with the NFL's fashion police.
While you'd think the Raiders would be thrilled they have finally put to bed all of negative news stories surrounding Brown, AB went ahead and posted a picture of a private letter from GM Mike Mayock explaining why he was fined.
You take what you can get with him, I guess.

There are still PLENTY of questions surrounding Brown, Jon Gruden, and the Raiders this season, but at long last Brown's helmet is not one of them.
