Greatest Quarterbacks - Paperback

by Joe Tischler (Author)

On the gridiron, they were simply the best. From Jim Thorpe and Jerry Rice to Joe Montana and Rondé Barber, NFL Hall of Famers brought unmatched passion and skill to their positions. Revisit football history's greatest professional athletes in this stat-filled, photo-driven sports series for middle-grade readers that showcases star linebackers, defensive linemen and backs, quarterbacks, pass catchers, and running backs. They're the leaders of offense and one of the most important positions in all of sports. Although the gridiron has seen outstanding quarterbacks throughout pro football history, only a handful of the greatest passers have been enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Photo-driven and stat-filled, this middle-grade sports title for fans of the NFL showcases 11 quarterbacks, ranked by induction year, from Sammy Baugh and Joe Montana to Brett Favre and Peyton Manning. Includes sidebars about the position's role and how it's changed over time.
