Cedrick Wilson Jr. is just one piece of a veteran Miami Dolphins wide receiver depth chart.
But he's got something different about him than the rest of the Dolphins' WRs: his helmet.
Wilson's helmet has an appearance of being bigger than everyone else's.
But really, he's just got an extra cover over it. It's for safety.

Why does Cedrick Wilson Jr.'s helmet look different?
Cedrick Wilson Jr.'s helmet looks different because he's wearing a Guardian Cap.
A Guardian Cap is a protective covering designed to protect against head injuries.
There is no documented evidence of Wilson sustaining a concussion in the NFL, but this could be a case of being safe over sorry.
Guardian Caps were first allowed to be worn on NFL practice fields in 2020.
The first time players could wear Guardian Caps in games was 2024.
There are about a dozen players leaguewide who currently wear Guardian Caps, although that number seems to be growing each and every week.
