Said a lot of what’s in that article about hardware earlier this week. He also added that with “normal people” the biggest problem is the quality of life aspect immediately after surgery that causes issues. Basically, you aren’t putting any weight on that foot for 6 weeks which is usually untenable for the average person, and hampers the effectiveness of the post-surgery result.

Non-weightbaring for 6 weeks isn't untenable for the average person. People do it all the. You just need to give AT a giant knee scooter. Sure it effects quality of life but we are talking 6 weeks not 6 months
his rookie year. My recollection is that he changed is shoe to stiffer sole. I could be wrong, but if I am right, shouldn't more players (linemen?) be wearing stiff soled (or whatever) shoes to prevent Lis Franc.

"One size" does not fit all. If knee braces are used in college to prevent knee issues for linemen, why don't the pro football players do it to reduce chances of torn knee ligaments?

It is required by a lot of colleges. There has been a lot of research on it and the most recent research points to significant reduction in ACL/MCL/PCL injuries with derotation braces. Players don't like them. They don't have as much say in college but in the pros they tend to ditch them

You'd have to mandate it for all the players. Players won't use them unless they have to, because they think they do better in terms of speed, mobility, etc. without them (it's the same reason why you don't see players with as many pads on as there used to be.)
I think pads and braces should be mandatory. It would slow players down, which reduces the force of hits (Force=Mass times Acceleration), and thus less severe injuries, hopefully.
There was actually a study (i will see if I could find it) that showed no significant difference in players ability when wearing knee braces, but there was the perception of loss of mobility.

The average person isn’t getting paid $10 million to sit on their tuchus.
