"The definitive ranking of the greatest
football
players of all time"--Publisher.
Summary:
"From The Athletic, powerhouse of sports reporting, comes the definitive story of the greatest
football
players of all time. It is a question that has bedeviled
football
fans for Who’s the best? Of the more than 25,000 men who have suited up during the NFL’s century of existence, which ones stood head and shoulders above all others? At The Athletic, home to the best newsroom in sports, this question would become a labor of love for dozens of the best
football
writers on the planet, including Mike Sando and Dan Pompei. Over the course of
100
riveting profiles -- each drawing upon unparalleled access and superlative storytelling to offer intimate perspective on what made the greatest players tick -- these writers reveal their findings. In the process, they also uncover the history of
football
. In the early days of the NFL, the game bore little resemblance to the product we see today. Points were scarce, the forward pass was an exotic strategic curiosity, and most players played all 60 minutes -- both sides of the ball. It was on the shoulders of the many greats who starred in the League over the last century that the game of
football
blossomed. Each profile in The
Football
100
uses the vivid narrative storytelling for which The Athletic is known to bring to life extraordinary athletic talents, tactical geniuses who changed the way the game is played, and legendary, outsized personalities. Based on many hundreds of interviews with players, coaches, broadcasters, and others, this is a penetrating look at the greatest players to ever don cleats and pads, as well as a view from the trenches of the harsh realities of a brutal game.
100
photographs throughout the text offer testament to both the glory and the physical toll of
football
. Deeply reported, beautifully written, and sure to spark heated debate among
football
fans of all stripes, The
Football
100
sets a new standard for writing about the game."--Publisher.
