Publisher's summary

Do You Play Football is a literary work of poems from the greatest player who never played the game. You will find life lesson poems about relationships, spirituality, health, finances, education, politics, social issues, and more.

Yes, I confess. I am the greatest player who never played the game. My skillset, strength, and speed were the best. So much so that every single (with emphasis) day in college, coaches begged me to play the game they loved and adored. After succumbing to their consistent groveling, I practiced, competed, and outplayed players who were NFL professional draft picks before determining that the game they loved was not in my heart. I had nothing against the game, but I had no love for the game, and you should have love for a game that can cause you life-threatening injuries. Even after determining that I would not play, football agents insisted on representing an impassionate young man because my unofficial Wonderlic score was perfect (50/50), my strength was enduring (225 pounds 60 consecutive times—unofficial), and my speed was the fastest time ever recorded for a defensive end (4.29—unofficial).

I insisted on not playing. Prognosticators predicted that I would. I never did, making me the greatest player who never played the game, in my opinion. My football swag never went away. Years removed from the unapologetic decision to move on from the game everybody else loved, people always continuously commented, "Do you play football?" That question asked of me sparked so many debates about life in general that I decided to create this poetry book about the life lessons generated from the conversations.
