It was invented by Paul Hubbard who played quarterback on Gallaudet University in 1894 because he realized that the opposite players could read and pick up their play calls due to the rudimentary ASL. At that time the ASL was not as advanced as today.

I have known these facts very well because I learned a great deal of history about Gallaudet University where I graduated from.

Re:

Actually, as a Deaf Professional, I am a graduate of Gallaudet College (now University) myself and was aware of this fact about American Football. I just thought that with the Super Bowl coming up, it would be interesting to see if others knew of this fact!
