    Who was considered the first pro football player?

    Question #16434. Asked by Maggie.

    According to the Pro Football Hall of Fame: William Heffelfinger.

    William 'Pudge' Heffelfinger.
    Heffelfinger openly accepted $500 to play for the Allegheny Athletic Association on Nov. 12, 1892. It paid off, too, as Allegheny 'thumped' the Pittsburgh Athletic Club, 4-0! A lot has changed since then - namely touchdowns counting for 6 points.
