History

Historical Context

In 2011 the NFL saw a record twelve season-ending ACL tears, prompting orthopedic surgeon James Andrews to call for rule and training changes as players grew bigger and faster. Orthopedic studies show roughly 200,000 ACL tears nationwide each year, costing $500 million. The league now tracks injuries with mandatory reports and emphasizes biomechanics to curb the recurring defensive losses seen today.
