Description
These are the faces of football... But before the championships, each of them faced a moment when it could've all slipped away.
Comeback Kings tells the true stories of football's biggest stars: players who battled injury, doubt, rejection, and failure... and came back stronger. Each chapter puts readers of all ages inside the story, starting with the toughest moment of a player's life. They'll feel the pressure, the heartbreak, the pain... and the spark that kept their heroes going.
From Jalen Hurts losing his job at Alabama...
To Patrick Mahomes as a three-star recruit at Texas Tech... To Joe Burrow riding the bench for three years at Ohio State...
To Micah Parsons getting kicked out of school and nearly giving up...
To young Aidan Hutchinson taking dance classes when his dad forbid him from playing football...
These aren't just stories about football. They're stories about life.
Along the way, readers will discover:
• The mindset Jaden Daniels used to overcome being benched -- and become a Heisman winner and the future of the Washington Commanders
• The workout discipline that made Josh Allen go from "bad accuracy" to MVP candidate with the Buffalo Bills
• What drove Justin Jefferson to go from last pick in the draft room... to Minnesota Vikings superstar
• The calm under pressure that made C.J. Stroud the rookie every defense feared with the Houston Texans
• Why these athletes never gave up -- and how you can use that same mindset in sports, school, and life
Each chapter ends in triumph and features full-page portraits and rare photos from the NFL and college archives. Comeback Kings is a must-read for fans of Alabama, LSU, Michigan, Ohio State, and beyond -- and the perfect gift for anyone who's had hard days... and still dreams big.
