This is the story of Jack Rasmussen, a college dropout who spent 10 years building a football cleat that could reduce ACL injuries. His company, Caddix, developed a patented "smart stud" that flexes to help players release from turf faster and avoid knee injuries. NFL athletes are starting to wear them, but big brands and sponsorship deals make it hard for these cleats to break through. In this video, I dive into Jack’s journey, the science behind the cleats, and my honest review after trying them on.
