With the help from Cardinals quarterback Drew Stanton, the football program at Phoenix’s Mountain Pointe High School now has more protection when its players take the field this season.

Joining with the Taylor Haugen Foundation and YESS (Youth Equipment for Sports Safety), Stanton was able to give the football team protective abdominal gear.

The protective gear comes from EvoShield, a company that focuses on custom-molding athletic protective gear in multiple sports and is the same protection that Stanton wears when he suits up for NFL games.

The Taylor Haugen Foundation and YESS was created in 2008 after high school receiver Taylor Haugen died following a liver injury suffered during a football game. The group provides awareness on abdominal injuries and how they can be more avoidable.
