Purposrts to be "The official voice of pro football writers, promoting and fighting for access to NFL personnel to best serve the public."

Goals of the organization include improving access to practices and locker rooms, developing working relationships with all teams and ensuring that football writers are treated in a professional manner.[1]

The McCann award is presented annually at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
