"We want to accomplish this by aligning ourselves with NFL players and combining their experiences with our platform. Thus, giving them ownership and creative freedom to ensure we bring the most realistic products to market. Lamar Jackson's unprecedented journey and skillset makes him the perfect partner to assist us in launching this platform. We are excited about sharing his experience with fans worldwide."
Powered by the insights of current and former NFL players, some of which are early investors, Status Pro is dedicated to reshaping fan engagement while en route to becoming the de facto experiential training platform for professional, collegiate, and amateur football. Several NFL teams are currently using their technology to help their players prepare for practice and games.
