Summary

In the mid-1990s, long after Jackie Robinson broke baseball??'s color barrier, after Texas Western beat Kentucky to shake up the basketball world, America??'s black quarterbacks found themselves trapped on football??'s sidelines. To play at all, they had to shift to wide receiver or take their games to Canada. A collection of voices young and old, William C. Rhoden??'s THIRD AND A MILE chronicles for the first time the heroic struggle to topple the sports world??'s staunchest racial barrier. Filled with personal anecdotes and first-hand recollections, the book includes testimony from NFL greats such as Warren Moon, Doug Williams, Vince Evans, James Harris, Marlin Briscoe, Donovan McNabb, Steve McNair, Daunte Culpepper and Michael Vick.
