Pro Bowl wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and Chicago Bears standout Equanimeous St. Brown credit Betterguards as essential to career longevity and performance
As global ambassadors for the sport, Amon-Ra and Equanimeous St. Brown credit the German-engineered ankle brace as essential to staying healthy on and off the field. Having both experienced severe ankle injuries throughout their careers, the St. Browns believe the adaptive injury prevention technology from Betterguards is a key ingredient to career longevity and performance.
The St. Browns have deep roots in Germany and the U.S., and have been instrumental in globalizing football’s raising popularity, focusing on participation and injury prevention education for the sport worldwide. The NFL will play two games overseas in Germany this year, where 6.5M football fans tune in every weekend.
