It's very likely that it is impossible to design a helmet that can protect a player. Players are simply too big and fast now. It might have been possible when lineman were 240-250 lbs., but now...and they didn't care back then...
This CTE thing is going to be the end of the NFL. There was a poll recently in which more than half of the parents asked said they wouldn't let their kids play football. You are going to see a push for legislation that regulates the amount of hitting for players under a certain age, probably 18. Without young players being developed the talent well will just dry up for college football and the NFL. And this isn't just a problem for American football. Bouncing a 16 oz ball off your head isn't good for young players either...Girls lacrosse has problems with concussions too. Same thing with baseball catchers...
