John Ambrose "Bodie" Weldon (November 7, 1895 – May 25, 1928) was a professional football player during the 1920s.

[1] Weldon was instrumental in the first NFL game to take place in New York City, as Buffalo defeated the Canton Bulldogs 7–3 at the Polo Grounds.

During the game Weldon punted against the legendary Jim Thorpe and kicked a point after touchdown.

This arrangement helped Weldon, and several other Buffalo All-Americans players, earn extra money in between league games.

He was chosen to be the team captain before the 1918 season, but he left school to serve in World War I.
