Best Answer

Professional football started in Canton Ohio, the home of the Pro football hall of Fame. The Founder of the National Football League was George Halas, who also founded the Bears. Paul Brown was one of the great innovators of the game and is widely considered the Father of modern football after inventing things such as college scouting, facemasks, and the west coast offense. He also founded the Cinncinnati Bengals who play in Paul Brown Stadium, after being the head coach of the Cleveland Browns, a team named after Paul Brown.
