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

“Fathers play a vital role in the health and well being of their families, communities, and society”
