Steelers WR Bernard to wear Guardian Cap all season

Appearing on the Not Just Football with Cam Heyward podcast, Bernard confirmed his decision to use the extra layer of protection all year. "I'm standing on it. I'm gonna wear it. Yes, the entire year," he stated, explaining that his partner encouraged him to prioritize long-term health over playing without protection. syntagm.co.za

The Guardian Cap, initially used only during practices, has become increasingly common in games as more players recognize the benefits of added head protection. While some find the caps bulky, Bernard believes the extra protection will help ensure his longevity in the sport.
