![]() I could never tell really whether Jackson hated football or loved it. The second theme is how the players love football, or at least in this case maybe it is a love-hate relationship with football as that is certainly how the account of this career comes off. Jackson seemed to be somewhat injury prone with bad shoulders and later a balky hamstring, not to mention a knee injury he suffered. One is the prevalence of pain and injury in the NFL and how that makes it even more difficult to hang on when you’re always on the bubble of being cut or released. If there is a theme to the book it’s twofold. Basically he hung on through the practice squad and playing on special teams, with a few stints on the field itself. Nate Jackson details his life as a marginal player in the NFL. Let me start off with what I liked about it. I have very mixed reactions to this book about the life of a football player on the margins. ![]()
