Monday's Heads Up Football news:

In a video for USA Football, Oregon coach Mark Helfrich talked about the benefits of the Heads Up Football program.

NFL, Punt, Pass and Kick champions for this season were announced after the third quarter of the San Diego Chargers-Denver Broncos playoff game on Sunday. USA Football's Joe Frollo has the details.

While his is not a Heads Up Football-sanctioned league, recording artist and youth football league administrator Snoop Dogg told HipHopDX that concussions have gone down in his league during the past few years because his coaches have been teaching players to tackle without using their head.
