Intended uses
This infobox template is intended to be used for current and former players, coaches and administrators of North American gridiron football. Use of this template should be relatively rare, as more specialized templates are available for most notable gridiron football leagues; wherever possible, a person using this template should be moved to ((Infobox AFL biography)) for current and former American Football League players and coaches, ((Infobox NFL biography)) for current and former National Football League players and coaches, ((Infobox Canadian Football League biography)) for current and former Canadian Football League players and coaches or ((Infobox college football player)) for American current and former college football players, with this template used only on people for whom none of those are applicable.

In cases where the person held different ranks in different armies, multiple ranks should be specified with a date and country note for each.

- battles – any notable battles or wars in which the person participated. This should be omitted if a campaignbox is used in conjunction with this template.
- awards – any notable military awards or decorations the person received.

The embed parameter is used when embedding this infobox into another.
This infobox may be used to create a genre-specific section within ((Infobox person)) (or similar biographical infobox templates) for cases where a person may be notable in more than one field; a generic example is shown below. For guidance on usage, see Wikipedia:Infobox modules. Also see the Template:Infobox documentation which explains embedding and subboxes.
