This book is penned by a former NFL star who’d read Dickens in the locker room.
The prose isn’t exactly sparkling, but it’s pretty good for a former jock. Lucid, definitely.
Lots of information here; I always wanted to know about the combine, the torments of training camp, and especially the eating habits of interior linemen.
I would LOVE, love to IHOP with Vince Wilfork.
