"As both a former college coach and a middle-school teacher, I think this is a fantastic book. It teaches kids about football's modern greats and timeless legends. It goes beyond stats and championships, and talks about players' backgrounds and the adversity they overcame. I'm excited to share this book with my students and my son." -- Matt Minich, former assistant coach at South Dakota State University

"While it's written for kids to enjoy, with brief write-ups on the greatest players to line up at every position from quarterback to cornerback, the book does more than just familiarize readers with sports legends of the past 7 decades. It conveys the values and personal struggles that defined these individuals. There are some real life-lessons woven into these tales that go beyond the stats to form a personal connection with players from all backgrounds." -- Customer review

"This is a well-researched book. There is great detail and it covers all the important elements that NFL fans should know about these football greats. The book is designed for kids, but it is a very enjoyable read for this adult as it takes me down memory lane and reminds me why I was enamored with these players when I was watching them in real-time." -- Customer review
