Football, family, and leadership! New @MoStateFootball head coach Casey Woods joined his father, legendary college coach Sparky Woods, for a conversation moderated by St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Jim Thomas at last week's @NFFStLouis Chapter Lunch. #ItTakesUsAll | #WeAreMoState

This week, as we celebrate 250 years of our country, we recognize the game that has helped shape generations of leaders, strengthen communities, and unite fans across the country.

30 years. More than 30,000 young athletes impacted. Countless life lessons shared. The @mpa_info continues to set the gold standard for developing quarterbacks and receivers, thanks to the unwavering commitment of Archie, Peyton, @EliManning and Cooper Manning. footballfoundation.org/news/2026/6/22…

Family expectations, accountability and support helped shape Paul Posluszny's experience at Penn State, where excelling in the classroom was just as important as succeeding on the field. In his appearance on the NFF's Good in the Game podcast with LaVar Arrington, Posluszny reflects on the values that guided his college career.
