CEO behind Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers' F7 Pro helmet responds to veteran frustration
Old habits die hard — and this couldn't be more true than for Aaron Rodgers, who had his longtime helmet model banned by the NFL this offseason. Rodgers wasn't thrilled about the switch to the newer, safer, and more innovative F7 Pro — and let reporters know about it at media availability. Advertisement I recently had the opportunity to interview Certor Sports CEO Jeremy Erspamer about the F7 Pro model — and here's what he had to say in regard to veteran players, like Rodgers, giving up their old helmets: 'I feel for players like Aaron Rodgers,' Erspamer said. 'He's worn that same helmet model basically his entire career. As he said, he's never been hurt in it. I'm sure it feels like an old friend when he puts it on his head. I completely understand, from a player's perspective, that potentially causing frustration. I also understand the desire of the NFL — and for us, as helmet manufacturers — trying to develop new technology. Technology is evolving probably quicker than most people think. And the ability to protect athletes better comes along with that.' Rodgers will have plenty of time this offseason to adjust to the state-of-the-art F7 Pro — but his feedback remains valuable to Erspamer and Certor Sports as they refine both existing and in-development models.

6 Steelers to follow in Aaron Rodgers' F7 Pro helmet footsteps for 2025 season
6 Steelers to follow in Aaron Rodgers' F7 Pro helmet footsteps for 2025 season Aaron Rodgers may have had his favorite helmet banned by the NFL — but his new F7 Pro model selection may be spreading through the Steelers locker room. I recently had the opportunity to interview Certor Sports CEO Jeremy Erspamer about their innovative new helmet design — and he named six Steelers set to wear the F7 Pro alongside Rodgers. Here are the six players sporting the new model this season: Roman Wilson The second-year Steelers wideout didn't have the rookie season he would've liked last year, but that isn't stopping him from wearing the new and innovative F7 Pro. Joey Porter Jr. The walking definition of a physical, lockdown man-coverage cornerback, Joey Porter Jr. will be the first Steelers DB to wear the F7 Pro in 2025. Troy Fautanu Troy Fautanu may not have ended his rookie season on his own terms, but he'll look to make a huge impact in Year 2 — while also rocking the F7 Pro in 2025. Jack Sawyer One of the biggest steals of the 2025 NFL Draft is rocking the F7 Pro this season — Jack Sawyer will look to serve as the latest proof that the Steelers are fantastic at scouting the OLB position. Kenneth Gainwell One of the most underrated of the Steelers' offseason additions, Kenneth Gainwell is set to wear the new F7 Pro — and will look to make a huge impact alongside fellow RBs Jaylen Warren and rookie Kaleb Johnson. T.J. Watt T.J. Watt is the biggest name Erspamer mentioned — and while he may not have shown off the state-of-the-art model at OTAs or mandatory minicamp due to his holdout, hopefully fans will get to see him rocking the F7 Pro in practice soon enough.

Poco F7 global variant appears on certification site: Specs and launch timeline leaked
The Poco F7 seems to be inching closer to its global debut, with the device recently surfacing on Thailand's NBTC certification website, reported GSMArena. Reportedly, this new listing suggests both the Poco F7 name and its global model number – 25053PC47G – further cementing speculation that a launch is on the horizon. Though the smartphone was initially expected to arrive in late May, recent developments suggest the unveiling may now take place sometime next month. If launched, the F7 will expand Poco's current F-series lineup, which already includes the F7 Pro and F7 Ultra. Based on multiple leaks and the device's model number, the Poco F7 is widely believed to be a global version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which was launched in China earlier this year, the publication added. If this holds true, consumers can expect a powerful set of specifications. The handset is tipped to feature a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280x2272 pixels, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and an impressive peak brightness of 3,200 nits. Under the hood, the Poco F7 is expected to house the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, paired with either 12GB or 16GB of RAM and internal storage options ranging from 256GB to a massive 1TB. Camera capabilities are likely to include a 50MP primary sensor, accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide lens. On the front, a 20MP selfie camera is expected to handle video calls and self-portraits. One of the standout features of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro is its substantial 7,550mAh battery. However, it remains uncertain whether this specification will be retained in the international version under the Poco branding. With certifications stacking up and rumours gaining momentum, it seems only a matter of time before Poco officially unveils the F7 to global markets. The brand appears set to continue its trend of delivering performance-driven smartphones at competitive price points.
