Paul D. Hubbard (1/14/1871-6/27/1946) played quarterback (1892-1895) for Gallaudet College back in 1890, which is located in Washington D.C.. Paul felt that the player's on the other teams had learned their sign's for their plays, so he invested the "huddle" to keep their plays a secret. He never once imaged that it would become a part of the national football league.
The Huddle is now used in baseball, football, soccer, and basketball.
