Denver Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker is playing in the AFC Divisional Round game against the San Diego Chargers. Welker missed the final three games of the season with multiple concussions and is clearly trying to play, while being cautious.

Welker has a specially designed helmet to give him extra protection, the result is someone who looks like a pee wee football player in a helmet too big for them.

Good to see, some players resist due to Gazoo-look. Safety over vanity. RT @VicLombardi Wes Welker's helmet pic.twitter.com/igmBafzFak
