"A Q Collar is a patented device by the company Q30 that received FDA approval in 2021. Before that, it was worn experimentally by players such as Luke Kuechly.
The Q collar creates a little kink in the jugular vein that increases the flow of blood to the brain.
That extra blood serves as a cushion to the brain when the players are in action."
