On August 29, current NFL players, legends, coaches and fans celebrated #PlayFootball Throwback Thursday, a social media campaign designed to celebrate the entire football community.
In its third year, the campaign encouraged all to join the social conversation by throwing it back to their youth and high school football playing days by posting photos, calling out former teammates or rivals, sharing special memories or sending well wishes to their high school football programs.
"We are excited to celebrate the third year of the #PlayFootball Throwback Thursday campaign," said Roman Oben, NFL Vice President of Youth and High School Football Strategy. "There is nothing better than engaging the entire football community, and we are thrilled to see everyone unite by sharing memories surrounding our game."
