Wrong.

"Any sort of ACL prevention program, which can be effective to some extent for the untrained athlete and females, have not been proven effective in the NFL. And in the course of their regular workouts, NFL athletes already perform much of the muscle training included in such prevention programs."
In terms of the NFL they have studied these programs and while they have been incorporated to basically all strength and conditioning programs they have shown no effect on reducing the number of ACL tears in the NFL.
