Louis (or Lewis) Jerald Partlow (October 9, 1892 – April 14, 1981) was a running back who played ten seasons with the Dayton Triangles in the National Football League (NFL). He is remembered for being the first professional footballer to score an official touchdown in NFL history.[1][2]
Lou Partlow started in 1914 with the West Carrollton Paper Company team, where he earned the nickname "West Carrollton Battering Ram" due to his training routine which involved deliberately smashing into trees.[1] Partlow also played with the Cincinnati Celts before joining the Dayton Gym-Cadets in 1915, the year before they changed their name to the Dayton Triangles.[1] On 3 October 1920, the Dayton Triangles beat the Columbus Panhandles 14-0 in the first ever NFL game, in which Partlow scored the first touchdown.[1][3]
Partlow retired in 1927.[1]
