Chrissy Carew’s new book has been released!

Chrissy Carew recently released Insightful Player, a book that chronicles the path that active and former players took to reach the NFL, not only using their football talents, but often taking genuinely heroic steps to overcome life’s obstacles. One player’s father was murdered when he was eight; he had to duck for cover in his home when bullets were flying on his street. Another former great was put in classes for the mentally disabled. His father “beat the tar” out of him and his coaches wouldn’t help him get into college because they said he had no talent. All of these players overcame incredible hardship. Each story shows the immense power of the human spirit.
