Just wondering, are former President Gerald Ford and Henry Ford related? If so, how?

No. Gerald got his "Ford" name from his step-father.

This was back in the 1930's, and yes you are correct. He was contacted by both the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers. However, back in those days, being a professional football player was nothing like it is today. They did not make enough money live on back then, and had to have jobs in the off season to support their families. Former President Ford wanted to become a lawyer, and didn't want that kind of life. Back in those days it wasn't as difficult a decision as it would be today with the millions of dollars professional football players make now.
