Sundays have long been showtime for National Football League stars. Before Tom Brady and Aaron Donald were creating highlights under the bright lights of today's NFL stadiums, star players like Jim Brown, Jerry Rice, and Roger Staubach were moving the chains-while defenses with nicknames like the Purple People Eaters and Fearsome Foursome were trying to stop them. This guide covers them all, taking readers into the superstar players, the dominant dynasties, and the thrilling games that have made the NFL into the exciting league it is today. Accessible chapters detail the history of the league and each team, including its history and key players. Stand-alone bios introduce football's all-time great players. Combined with action-packed photos, some of the sport's most essential stats and records, and plenty of trivia, this book has everything readers want to know about their favorite NFL athletes and teams-plus plenty of info they can use to impress their friends. This all-encompassing resource is a must-have for any young reader who wants to be a GENIUS KID!
