There was no single person who invented American football. It slowly evolved away from the game of Rugby, after American colleges sat down to draw up a set of standardized rules in the late 19th century.
Walter Camp is often called the father of American football, for inventing the down-and-distance system, developing the first scoring system, and replacing the rugby scrum with the line of scrimmage. He was also one of the early proponents of the forward pass.
