American football began over 100 years ago as a mix of soccer and rugby played on college fields. Early games were rough, with few rules or safety gear. Over time, new rules made the sport safer and more organized. Walter Camp, known as the “Father of American Football,” helped create the system of downs and the line of scrimmage.
