Ray Otto "Waddy" Kuehl (February 12, 1893 – July 24, 1967), was an American football player who played five seasons in the National Football League (NFL) with the Rock Island Independents (1920, 1923), Detroit Tigers (1921), Buffalo All-Americans (1921-1922), and Dayton Triangles (1924). He appeared in 39 NFL games and scored nine touchdowns.[1] On October 10, 1920, the second week of the first NFL season, Kuehl is credited with catching the first touchdown pass in NFL history — a 35-yard completion from Pudge Wyman against Hammond.[2] He played college football at St. Ambrose University and Dubuque College (now known as Loras College), both located in Iowa.[1] He retired from the game in 1925.[3]
