I Am Third is - in his own words - the moving account of Gale Sayers's struggle to football greatness. It is the story of his family, of the crippling knee injury that almost destroyed his career, but most of all, I Am Third, is the story of Gale's short but unforgettable friendship with Brian Piccolo. a stirring, painfully honest account of his struggle to become the greatest running back in history and that agonizing moment between immortality and becoming a cripple." —The New York Times Book Review
