I Would Think So. Especially If They Value Speed And Agility. The Fast Running Back Work Constantly On Their Calves. Look At Emmett Smith. You Wouldn't Think He Would Be A Great Dancer Because He Is Stocky But He Take Good Care Of His Calves. Check out NFL.com and Look For Yourself.

Yes, they do. Calf workouts are part of squats or leg presses (same motion).
To work your calves, find a seated leg press machine and do the regular exercise.
After doing the appropriate number of reps, extend your legs all of the way, just like another regular leg press motion.
Then lower your feet to hanging off of the bottom edge, with just your toes holding the weights. Slowly rock your toes back and forth (extending and flexing your feet) so that your calf is doing the work of pushing the weights down.
I'm not a pro athlete, but I usually do 20 reps of calves with each set of squats or leg presses.
To work your calfs with regular squats, just raise yourself up on your toes while bearing weight.

Yes. A football player needs strength in every part of their body.
