Summary:
"One man's odyssey into the brutal hive of the National Football League. This is not a celebrity tell-all of professional sports.
Slow
Getting
Up
is a survivor's real-time account of playing six seasons (twice as long as the average
NFL
career) for the San Francisco 49ers and the Denver Broncos. As an unsigned free agent who rose through the practice squad to the starting lineup, Nate Jackson is the talented embodiment of the everyday freak athlete in professional football, one of thousands whose names go unmentioned in the daily press. Through his
story
recounted here--from scouting combines to preseason cuts to byzantine film studies to glorious touchdown catches--even knowledgeable football fans will glean a new, starkly humanized understanding of the daily rigors and unceasing violence of quotidian life in the
NFL
. Fast-paced, lyrical, and hilariously unvarnished,
Slow
Getting
Up
is an unforgettable look at the real lives of America's best twenty-year-old athletes putting their bodies and minds through hell"--From publisher.
