In May of 2000 four fathers came together to discuss the possibility of forming an NFL Fathers organization. A follow-up meeting was held in Chicago during the month of July to further develop this idea along with identifying what would later become the mission and purpose of this organization of men.

After agreeing that the foundation had been established it was determined that Chicago would be the home state of the newly formed National Football Players Fathers Association (NFPFA). The initial president would be the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback dad, Samuel McNabb.

Over the past few years, several dads representing several NFL teams came together annually to have more discussions and dialogue about improving the purpose of this association. Our primary goal is to establish a fathers’ association that exemplifies good character and promotes responsibility and commitment with the idea in mind of working to help our sons maximize their potential both on and off the field
