American Football has historical ties to rugby and soccer. Quarterbacks throw the ball to receivers, or hand it off to running backs who attempt to gain yardage and score touchdowns against the defense. The ball can also be kicked and punted, usually by specialty players.

According to statisticsanddata.org, football is the most popular sport in the US by a fair margin. The NFL is the highest level of professional American football. It is also an arena for elite athletes to compete at the highest level.
