As the 2026 NFL season approaches, veteran quarterback Joe Flacco is making headlines with his comments on helmet visors. In a recent episode of Netflix’s ‘Quarterback’ show, Flacco expressed his disapproval of visors, stating that they are worn for aesthetic purposes rather than functionality.
Flacco’s comments were directed at Shedeur Sanders, a rookie quarterback who wore a visor during practice. Flacco believes that visors are not practical and can be a distraction, often fogging up and hindering a player’s vision. He also mentioned that he would not want his own kids to wear visors, calling them ‘annoying’ and saying they ‘don’t make sense’.
Despite Flacco’s criticism, Sanders was still seen wearing a visor during minicamp ahead of the new season. The Cleveland Browns, Sanders’ team, will face the Chicago Bears in their preseason opener on August 15. The Cincinnati Bengals, Flacco’s team, will play the Detroit Lions in their preseason opener.
