A very interesting description of the rise of a high school football player who starred at the University of South Carolina and then played as a role player with the Baltimore Colts alongside Johnny Unitas, Raymond Berry, Tom Matte, Mike Curtis and Jimmy Orr. Humorous and insightful into the life of pro football in the 60's. Very enjoyable.
