Forward passes were legal and being thrown by college and professional players before the NFL was formed. But the first known forward pass in a professional football game was probably by George W. (Peggy) Parratt on October 25, 1906. In a game in which Peggy played for the Massillon, Ohio, Tigers, he threw a short pass to Dan Riley Policowski against a team from West Virginia. The Tigers won 61-0 and the forward pass did not play a major role in the outcome.
