Interview: Jesse Nicassio

RotoRob recently had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Jesse Nicassio, the former NFL punter turned inventor. After setting several punting records with Eastern Washington University, he signed with the Rams in 2004, for whom he averaged 44 yards per punt. Nicassio also played with the Colts before an injury derailed his playing career. That’s when his true career went into overdrive, as he launched Juke Performance, a company that invented the EZ Kicker, a product designed to improve punter and kicker skills. But his more recent contribution to the world of athletics training, the MASS Suit, has had a far greater impact. We talked to Nicassio about his inventions and got a chance to ask him about his playing career. Highlights of our conversation included:

• How a hip flexor injury led him to creating EZ Kicker to help alleviate the pain;
• How the MASS Suit is particularly ideal for youth athletes;
• The biggest disappointment of his playing career;
• Who was the most intimidating opponent he ever had to play against;
and
• His early prediction for the 2019 Super Bowl winner (hint: it’s one of his former teams).

American singer/tabloid fodder Britney Spears has now been making music since 1992. Yes, we know… that’s hard to believe, but it’s true. Her debut album, …Baby One More Time, was released in 1999. From this effort, the third single was “(You Drive Me) Crazy.”
