Around SBN: Four TCU Football Players Among 17 Arrested In Drug Ring

Does anyone remember the name of the old 49ers player that had the double helmet? I cant find a picture of him anywhere, but i just remember seeing him our there and always thinking his helmet looked really funny. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Steve Wallace
He garnered Pro Bowl honors in 1992. Throughout his career, Wallace endured many concussions, and was known for wearing a styrofoam helmet atop his normal helmet to reduce the impact.

i wonder how that styrafoam would hold up, apparently it did okay because he played for a while.
