00:00Football players don't have many opportunities for accessorizing, so they're making do with mouthguards.
00:05Nexstar reports that rocking two mouthguards has become a bit of a trend among NFL players.
00:11The first player to try this may have been Washington commander De'Ami Brown,
00:14who doubled up at a game in November 2022.
00:17Afterward, he told WTOP News that he was just,
00:20"...changing up the drip a little bit."
00:22He wanted to use black and yellow mouthguards to complement his uniform,
00:26but couldn't find a black option, so he went with light blue as an homage to his alma mater, UNC.
00:31Pittsburgh Steeler George Pickens went with a more obvious color scheme on December 23rd
00:35of last year, red and green for Christmas.
00:38At the time, Sports Illustrated cited several posts from ex-users who said they had never
00:42seen this before, but since then, Nate Wiggins of the Baltimore Ravens has made doubling up
00:47on mouthguards a regular habit.
00:49What's next?
00:50Three mouthguards?
00:51Only time will tell what the future will hold.
