Why do NFL quarterbacks have a green dot or circle on the back of their helmets? I have not noticed it on any other player. The green dots allow game officials to identify quarterbacks who have coach-to-quarterback radio communication devices in their helmets. Only one quarterback with the device can be on the field at a time and all NFL teams are using them. Compiled from Times wire and staff reports. To submit a question, e-mail answers@tampabay.com or call 727 893-8179, toll-free, 1-800-333-7505, ext. 8179.
