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. In this book, we'll learn more about Favre's' journey into the NFL, his impact on the game, and his everlasting legacy as one of the greatest quarterbacks to play the game. 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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of Brady vs. Manning and dean of football writers - a book that explores the many interesting facets to NFL quarterbacks and their relationships with their fathers. Tom Brady's father is an estate planner. Jim Harbaugh's father had a long career as a college coach. Archie Manning played fourteen years in the NFL and never made the playoffs, but his sons Peyton and Eli won a combined four Super Bowls. Joe Montana is considered by many to be the greatest quarterback of all time, but his two sons bounced around college football with limited success. Jameis Winston's father supported his family working overnight highway construction in Alabama. Derek Carr's father moved the family to Houston after Derek's older brother, David, was drafted by the Texans. My First Coach goes behind the scenes to explore the unique relationship between these and other quarterbacks and their fathers, as well as investigate various approaches to parenting through their stories. Can young athletes overcome helicopter parents? How did the kids with NFL aspirations deal with their fathers who'd already made it? What kind of pressure did they have to overcome? What kind of pressure did the father who succeeded put on his son to be an athlete? Would the expectations be lower and the results greater if the father was an attorney or doctor? Was it better for the fathers to be overbearing, or borderline disinterested? My First Coach tells the compelling, real-life stories of some of the country's most famous quarterbacks and how they took advantage of or overcame their relationships with their fathers.

Here is a preview of what is inside this Patrick Mahomes biography book: Early Childhood High School Career College Football Career NFL Career: The Draft, Rookie Season, MVP Season, "Super" Mahomes Mahomes' Personal Life Legacy and Future Conclusion An excerpt from this Patrick Mahomes biography: In the 2017 NFL Draft, Patrick Mahomes II sat at his table waiting for his name to be called. 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!

Book excerpt: “Over two decades, Brett Favre was as compelling a figure as any in the National Football League. He alone was 'Must-See TV.' 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

However, over the last year, a new name has emerged and potentially topped that list: Lamar Jackson. The Baltimore Ravens star quarterback has taken the NFL by storm with his ability to make remarkable and mind-blowing plays with both his arm and his legs and has already broken dozens of NFL records with more certainly to follow. There have been successful running quarterbacks in the NFL before. Roger Staubach is probably one of the first names that come to mind for many old school fans for his scrambling ability. But in terms of ethnicity, it was Randall Cunningham who really paved the way for black quarterbacks to excel in the league with how he was able to generate plays with his arm and feet. Since then, guys like Steve McNair, Michael Vick, Cam Newton, Warren Moon, Donovan McNabb, and Russell Wilson have come along, making the black quarterback a weapon and asset in the league. The unfortunate and, at times, racist, criticism aimed at a lot of black quarterbacks in past eras has been that "their accuracy does not match their running ability." Doug Williams and Warren Moon were accurate passers but were not as big a running threat as Cunningham. Vick's speed transcended the game to a new level, but his accuracy was his biggest detriment. Old stereotypes and racial barriers have been broken and transcended as mindsets evolve. Today, guys like Wilson and Murray are becoming MVP-like quarterbacks with how they can run and throw accurately. And now along comes Lamar Jackson, who is performing at such a remarkable level and at such a young age that he may very well someday eclipse them all. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
