Take a look at a Football Factory with Jane Helser who retired after working at the Wilson Football Factory in Ada, Ohio for 50 years. This is where all of the Official NFL footballs are made and she touched every single one of them for over 50 years. I have spent many hours watching football games but I never had any idea what went into making an NFL Football. Think of all the famous football players who have scored a touchdown with a football sewn together by Jane.
