‘No-brainer’: Former SMU star-turned Colts’ Kylen Granson to wear Guardian Cap in regular season

INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis Colts tight end Kylen Granson wore a Guardian Cap during the preseason and plans to continue doing so in the regular season to further protect his brain from long-term damage.

“At one point people thought seatbelts were f—ing stupid,” Granson told The Athletic on Thursday. “Why wouldn’t I (wear it)? Just because it looks silly? I feel like health and safety is more important than aesthetics.”

After Granson’s comments went viral, the four-year pro explained his position even further in an Instagram video Friday. Granson and several other NFL players began wearing Guardian Caps when the NFL mandated certain position groups wear them in practice ahead of the 2022 season.

He’s liked the results so far, and now that the league will allow players to wear them in games, Granson believes it is a “no-brainer” for him to further protect his brain.

For those with Instagram access, Granson's explanation can be seen HERE — very much worth watching.
