The United States Football League debuted the helmet cam on Saturday night during the inaugural game between the Birmingham Stallions and the New Jersey Generals.
Football fans got a look at what Generals running back Darius Victor was seeing when he took the handoff from quarterback Luis Perez with 6:44 left in the first quarter. The camera showed Victor bouncing off would-be tackler Stallions linebacker Scooby Wright before he was tackled down by Aaron Adeoye and Tae Hayes.

Victor was credited with a 2-yard gain and the first down.
On the next play, Perez was sacked for a 7-yard loss and the New Jersey Generals would eventually finish the series with a punt.

The helmet cam is one of the unique innovations the USFL announced before the start of the season.
USFL executive Daryl Johnston appeared on "Fox & Friends" earlier in the week to tout some of the new experiences to fully immerse fans into the action.
"We’re creating access for the view that’s unprecedented. And for me as a player, to be able to share some of these experiences with the fans – and that’s what they want to do, they want to be able to get close as they possibly can and all this technology is providing that," Johnston told "Fox & Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade.

"We’ve talked about video with a double sky cam, with some drones, the number of cameras that we got. But the one thing everybody was excited about last week was the audio. They got a steady cam where they’re walking right into the huddle so the camera angle from that shot is going to be like you as a viewer at home standing in the huddle with the quarterback."
