A nine-year-old just defined his entire family by comparing them to a Washington Redskins helmet.
It’s genius.Co-Host of NFL Total Access on NFL Network Dan Hellie Tweeted out a photo Friday morning of some schoolwork by Chase Hellie:

Chase describes each family member as pieces of the football helmet, starting off with sister Caroline who is the “soft cushion inside. She is nice to everybody.” An attempt by RR to reach out to Dan was made but got not response prior to this post. Either way, you’ve got to admit the assignment brings positive perspective to the function of family. Through the eyes of this child, these are some great life lessons to hold onto. I hope Chase got an A and if he didn’t, it’s because that teacher is obviously a Dallas Cowboys fan. I’m just kidding.
