Walter C. Camp ANSWER There was no single inventor of American football. It gradually evolved on Ivy League campuses in the 19th century from a kicking game to a game modeled after rugby. Walter Camp is often considered the "father of American football" because he was responsible for proposing many of the rules that gave our game its unique flavor. He invented the first scoring system, he proposed a line of scrimmage to replace the rugby scrum, and he created the down-and-distance system. John Heisman (after whom the Heisman Trophy is named) was the biggest proponent for the forward pass, which wasn't legal until 1906.
