''NFL [=SuperPro=]'' was a Creator/MarvelComics series, the product of a brief collaboration between Marvel and the National Football League.

Phil Grayfield, a former aspiring football player, lost his chance to make it to the big leagues when he suffered a crippling knee injury while saving a child, and now he works as a sports reporter. While interviewing a wealthy but eccentric scientist who created a new, high-tech football uniform, Grayfield is caught in the middle of a robbery that goes south quickly, resulting in the scientist's house being set on fire. In the ensuing conflagration, Grayfield is doused in chemicals that turn him into a superhero. Donning the experimental football uniform, Grayfield dubs himself "[=SuperPro=]" and decides to use his new powers to fight crime.

With Marvel's partnership with the NFL having long since ended, NFL [=SuperPro=] is currently ExiledFromContinuity.
