Hi ksmpta,
Below is the result of my research for the requested football players
and whether their children play/played football.
Since my latest clarification, I have located information on the
remaining two football players to complete the list.
As I have clarified, reference to whether the players' children played
football or not, is not always mentioned. But as we agree, if they
*did* follow their father’s footsteps, it would certainly be noted.
I have included excerpts to articles with reference to the children of
the players. From these excerpts you can assess whether the children
play football or not.
-Joe Montana-
"Of course, Joe does have two sons, 10-year-old Nathaniel and
7-year-old Nicholas. Despite his wife's occasional protestations, the
43-year-old Montana said he would not discourage them should they
choose to pursue football in earnest.
"Every now and then, my oldest boy says he wants to start learning how
to throw," Montana said. "He's built like a lamp post, though, so I
don't know.""

-Jack Youngblood-
"Jack Youngblood lives near Orlando, Fla., in a town called Winter
Park, where he is a consultant for the Arena Football League and
fishes and hunts and raises his son, Robert.
"I think my numbers speak for themselves," says Jack Youngblood,
pictured during 1980 NFC title game, on Hall of Fame candidacy.
Robert is 16 and dabbles in football. What Robert plays, though, is
soccer.
Now when the son of Jack Youngblood can grow up in Florida a soccer
player, then you know football has made a terrible, terrible mistake.
"He's growing," said Youngblood, the former Ram defensive end,
pleased. "He eats everything that doesn't eat him first."
That's not all that unusual when it comes to Youngbloods. Football
eats its Youngbloods.
For one, Robert isn't playing it."

-Anthony Munoz-
"Former NFL offensive tackle Anthony Munoz brags about his son's play
for Tennessee after recovering from knee surgery. It's a subject the
Hall of Famer knows well.
Michael Munoz, a sophomore who plays the same position his dad did,
returned to the field this season after a year off."

"But I feel like I’m one of the lucky guys. The only woman I’ve ever
been involved with is my wife, who I married 35 years ago. We have
five children who are good kids. I have a great time going out, and
watching my kids play sports. People said we had a conservative life."

-John Hannah-
"Hannah, nicknamed "Hog" because of his massive 6-foot-3-inch,
265-pound body, doesn't miss football at all.
He doesn't even follow the sport. When there's seemingly nothing on
television but NFL games, you won't find Hannah cheering every
touchdown pass. Instead, he's with his children or working."

they encouraged me to continue to play to do what I wanted to do."
