To this day, Brett Favre remains one of the most popular NFL quarterbacks and with good reason: he left an incredible legacy on the game. Being the only player to ever win the Most Valuable Player award three consecutive seasons, Favre's impact on his teams was profound. A Super Bowl Champion and 11-time Pro-Bowl selection, Favre was one of the most dominant quarterbacks in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Chapter 1: Early Life and Childhood Years Chapter 2: High School Years Chapter 3: College Years at Southern Mississippi Chapter 4: Brett Favre's Professional Career Chapter 5: Brett Favre's Personal Life Conclusion An excerpt from the book: Most football fans know who Brett Favre is: a three-time NFL MVP who is the face of the Green Bay Packers franchise. In fact, when people talk about the Packers, they are sure to bring Favre into the discussion. And who can blame them? He donned the team's Green and Gold colors for 16 seasons. He's one of those quarterbacks whom people associate with just one team (just like Johnny Unitas of the Baltimore Colts, Joe Namath of the New York Jets, and Dan Marino of the Miami Dolphins). If you had watched Favre all these years, you were amazed at how precise his throws to his receivers were. Some of them even defied logic: How could Favre have eluded several angry linebackers to throw a perfect spiral to the end zone? How could Favre have endured in the challenging National Football League? As you will find out, there's only one answer to that: Hard work. However, it is much more than that. You may think Favre had it all: an illustrious career, an MVP trophy, admiring fans, and a happy family. To truly appreciate Favre's journey, one has to dig deeper - much deeper. He traces his roots to little-known Kiln, Mississippi, a small town an hour away from New Orleans where Favre honed his legendary football skills. As a child, he had it all - strength, dedication, and the matching work ethic. Favre never wasted his talents. He knew he had what it took to succeed. Nonetheless, he never took anything for granted. You would also be surprised at the several stumbling blocks Favre had to overcome to achieve greatness. Even though he is a famous personality, he is a Mississippi country boy at heart. He is just like any regular person who encounters trials on the journey of life. However, what sets Favre apart from the rest is his resilience. As you read this book, try to appreciate every single moment he went through. Once you do that, you will have a newfound appreciation for the legend of Brett Lorenzo Favre.

Book excerpt: The story behind one team's unprecedented dominance at the quarterback position By developing a trio of Hall of Fame-bound passers, the Green Bay Packers have enjoyed success at the quarterback position that surpasses that of any other team in the National Football League. In "Leaders of the Pack," veteran Packers writer Rob Reischel explores the organization's history of successful signal-callers, highlighting Bart Starr's Super Bowl victories, Brett Favre's collection of NFL records, and Aaron Rodgers' ascent into becoming one of the best players in today's NFL. Reischel traces the history of all three players, highlighting what it means to be a Packers quarterback both on and off the field, and then expands his insight to the rest of the league. He examines other team's dynamic trios--such as the Dallas Cowboys' Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman, and Tony Romo or the San Francisco 49ers' Y. A. Tittle, Joe Montana, and Steve Young--but demonstrates why the Packers have the most successful players at the position in NFL history. Featuring Favre's thoughts about his place in the Packers' quarterback legacy in his own words, "Leaders of the Pack" is required reading for Packers fans young and old.

Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Childhood and Early Life High School Years College Years at University of Nevada Colin's NFL Career Colin Kaepernick's Legacy and Future An excerpt from the book: Colin Kaepernick continued to develop his overall athleticism by becoming a three-sport athlete at Pitman High School in Turlock. He played football in the fall, basketball in the winter, and baseball in the spring. Two of the three would eventually become his standout sports.Kaepernick didn't have to do much as a quarterback at first. In fact, the Pride was known as a running team with a few powerful backs. In his game as a starter on September 9, 2004, Kaepernick only had five attempts with two completions - one of which was a 21-yard pass for a first quarter touchdown. But the team was led by junior-back Anthony Harding's 233 yards, and senior-back Mark Runyan's 117 yards as Pitman combined for 471 rushing yards in a 46-36 win at home against Kennedy High School (Sacramento).One week later, Kaepernick began to show how good of an arm he had when he went 14-for-20 for 203 yards and three touchdowns in a 19-7 victory over Johansen High School (Modesto) on September 17, 2004.The games would flip between whether the Pride would focus more on the rushing attack, or let Kaepernick have the opportunities to throw. His final numbers at the end of the season were 1,051 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, and four interceptions. Kaepernick helped the Pitman Pride to an 8-3 record in his junior season that ended on November 19, 2004 against West High School from Tracy, California - a state playoff game where they lost 35-21. Kaepernick was 14-for-27 for 171 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.

Peyton's Obsessive Behavior Peyton's Bad Post-Season Luck Will Peyton Manning Play in 2015? Peyton Manning's Legacy An excerpt from the book: While many will claim various quarterbacks as the greatest of all time, no other name comes up more often than Peyton Manning. Simply put, nobody can argue that his record proves this status. He has received five Most Valuable Players in the NFL during the regular season, which is the most received by any player. He also currently holds the most passing yards and total passing touchdowns than any other quarterback in history. He runs a no-huddle offense like nobody else's business. Additionally, he was able to turn around Indianapolis Colts' losing streak only after playing in his second season with the team. All but two NFL seasons, he has been able to successfully make it into the post season and ended up winning a super bowl. Nobody can argue that Peyton is simply the all-time greatest quarterback to wear an NFL jersey. Peyton Manning is acclaimed to harness a passion and competiveness for the sport of football greater than anyone has ever seen. In fact, many believe that he is compulsively obsessed with winning. Growing up with a father who played professional football as an NFL quarterback with the New Orleans Saints for most of his career, along with having two brothers that were also extremely passionate about football-Peyton was practically bred into the sport. Even at the early age of three, Peyton was already learning how to throw a football. Even his younger brother Eli Manning is a professional quarterback for the New York Giants. Football is in Peyton's blood, to say the least.

Here is a preview of what is inside this book: Childhood and Early Life High School Years College Years at University of Michigan Tom Brady's NFL Career A Brady Dynasty Decade with No Championship Breaking the Hump: 2014-2015 Season Deflate-Gate Controversy Tom Brady's Legacy An excerpt from the book: Tom Brady has accomplished a lot in 15 seasons in the National Football League - as starting quarterback for the New England Patriots and taking over for legendary Drew Bledsoe, Most Valuable Player in the NFL for multiple seasons, one of three quarterbacks in history with four Super Bowl championship victories and several appearances in the league's annual Pro Bowl game. Let us also throw in some major motion picture appearances, a few hit television shows like Saturday Night Live and Family Guy, and is considered by many as one of the faces of today's NFL. With all of the positives in the past 15 years, there has been recent news and controversies surrounding Brady and the Patriots organization which have led some to question the integrity of Brady's legacy.The Deflate-Gate controversy questions whether Brady had an unfair advantage throwing with under-inflated footballs during New England's 45-7 win against the Indianapolis Colts in the 2015 AFC Championship game. Such controversy puts to question how the game would have played out differently otherwise and possibly change the outcome of Super Bowl XLIX where New England defeated the Seattle Seahawks, the defending champions from the previous season, 28-24. However, others opine that Brady's numbers would not have made a difference in the grand scheme of events since the Colts only scored seven points in a game where the Patriots had three touchdowns from their running back LeGarrett Blount.

In Gunslinger, Jeff Pearlman provides an extraordinary look at every facet of the life of a man who performed on sport's grandest stage and who had one helluva time along the way.”—Al Michaels In Gunslinger, Jeff Pearlman tells Brett Favre’s story for the first time, charting his unparalleled journey from a rough rural childhood and lackluster high school football career to landing the last scholarship at Southern Mississippi, to a car accident that nearly took his life, and eventually to the NFL and Green Bay, where he restored the Packers to greatness and inspired a fan base as passionate as any in the game. Yet he struggled with demons: addiction, infidelity, the loss of his father, and a fraught, painfully prolonged exit from the game he loved, a game he couldn’t bear to leave. Gritty and revelatory, Gunslinger is a big sports biography of the highest order, a fascinating portrait of the man with the rocket arm whose life has been one of triumph, fame, tragedy, embarrassment, and—ultimately—redemption. “The compelling, complete story of his legend, and his faults.”—Chicago Tribune

With the second pick, the Chicago Bears passed on him and took quarterback Mitchell Trubisky out of North Carolina. The Jacksonville Jaguars felt they already had their future with Blake Bortles and took running back Leonard Fournette instead. The Jets were okay with Geno Smith and Josh McCown and instead took safety Jamal Adams. The Bengals decided to hold onto Andy Dalton and drafted wide receiver John Ross. It was like heaven for the Kansas City Chiefs. They had traded with the Buffalo Bills for the 10th overall pick and when their turn came up, Mahomes was still there. So was Deshaun Watson of Clemson, but they felt Mahomes was a no-brainer. They believed Mahomes was a potential Pro Bowler who could win them a Super Bowl in two or three years. And they were spot on. Three years later, Mahomes had made many of those nine teams that passed on him regret it. How do you think the Bears felt? Trubisky is not even their starting quarterback anymore. Or the Jaguars, who have floundered with the quarterback position since 2015. Blake Bortles, their guy in 2017, is now on the Rams. The Jets may have been the team that felt the sickest. Their quarterback play was so bad in 2017 that they drafted Sam Darnold in 2018. They could have picked a top quarterback in 2017 but instead passed on one. The player they did draft in 2017, Jamal Adams, is now on the Seahawks! Then there were the Chiefs, who drafted Mahomes and got to see him win the 2018 NFL Most Valuable Player Award and hold up the Lombardi Trophy in 2020. It did not take long for the Chiefs general manager to be completely on board with Mahomes. After the 2017 NFL Combine in Indianapolis, he saw all that he needed to. "He's one of the best players I ever saw," Brett Veach said. If you enjoyed this excerpt, be sure to pick up a copy of this biography on Patrick Mahomes today!
