When you read on what he has gone through in his life and the challenges he has faced, it’s just unreal how badass of a football player he is. He’s played sick, hurt, cold, hot. He’s incredible. My biggest role model in life. I would highly recommend this book.

Willie Morris, an editor of the Daily Texan in the 50’s, after a stint in The Big Apple returned home to Mississippi and found this story there. It’s more than the story of a high school football star and his family working their way through the tangle of possibilities and promises offered in the recruitment process. It’s a look into the soul of this town where twenty years before three young civil rights workers had been murdered.
