NFL Alumni Fatherhood Champions
A program to empower fathers, provide tools, and teach skills to make their roles more impactful.

“Being a father is about showing up as a leader where it matters most and that’s with your family.
Now I want to help other men bring those same values to their families.”
– Al Smith

“Football taught me about discipline. But being a dad taught me love and patience.
My daughter doesn’t care about touchdowns – she just wants dad time.”
– Dexter McCluster

“Growing up without a steady father figure taught me how critical it is for dads to be present, involved, and supportive.” – Michael Oher

“Every day as a dad is game day. You show up, you lead by example, and you teach your kids to become strong, accountable people.
Not by talking, but by living it.”
– Brett Ratliff
