Answer 1

A spot that paint hasn't covered yet. The green is the original color of a helmet. It's painted to get another color.

Answer 2

You may have noticed the green dots on the back of NFL quarterbacks’ helmets. That’s something new for this year. All QBs will have a green dot on their helmet. It signifies that the player has a radio helmet and the NFL will put the stickers on the helmets themselves each week. Only a QB can have a radio, and only one green dot can be on the field at a time. So, if a 2nd string QB comes in for a trick play, he has to have a different helmet to wear.

Answer 3

The green dot indicates the helmets equiped with a radio, allowing contact with coaches on the sideline.

Answer 4

The green dot is the helmet with the radio in it. Only one dot on the field at a time.

Answer 5
