QB: My Life Behind the Spiral

by Steve Young, with Jeff Benedict - Memoir, Nonfiction, Sports

Steve Young produced some of the most memorable moments in NFL history: his electrifying 49-yard game-winning touchdown against Minnesota, his last-second touchdown strike to Terrell Owens to beat Green Bay in the playoffs, and his record-setting six touchdown passes in Super Bowl XXIX. But his most impressive victories were personal ones that were won off the field when no one was watching. QB is a remarkably revealing memoir of an athletically gifted Mormon boy with a 4.0 GPA, a photographic memory, and a severe case of childhood separation anxiety. At the same time, Young was absolutely fearless --- and unstoppable --- whenever he had a ball in his hands.
