For six seasons in the NFL as a Bronco, he alternated between the practice squad and the active roster, eventually winning a starting spota short, tenuous career emblematic of the average pro player.Drawing from his own experience, Jackson tells the little known story of the hundreds of everyday, "expendable" players whose lives are far different from their superstar colleagues.From scouting combines to training camps, offseason parties to gameday routines, debilitating physical injuriesincluding degenerative brain conditionsto poor pensions and financial distress, he offers a funny, and shocking look at life in the NFL, and the young men who risk their health and even their lives to play the game.
