Description

In this book, players open up about the difficulties they face once they leave the NFL. Personal interviews reveal how many have struggled with finances, addiction, depression, violence, and finding a second career. While success stories are also shared, the unfortunate truth is that there are far more players left hurt and broken after retirement.
