When I was a child I had a whole set of Step-Up books, of which this volume was a part. I'm pretty sure I did read this book (because I read pretty much everything I could get my hands on), but I didn't think football players were either interesting or amazing!

I loved this book as a kid. I read it in third grade and it wish I still had it.
