Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
This debut novel by Atlanta Falcon Tim Green depicts a rookie pro-football player who is pressured into taking steroids.

From Library Journal
Clay Blackwell is the first-round draft pick of the Birmingham Ruffians, an NFL expansion team owned by an unprincipled businessman. Blackwell soon finds himself under pressure to go along with the head coach's program, which includes violent practice sessions, psychological manipulation, and black-market steroids. In his first novel, Green--a defensive end for the Atlanta Falcons--writes exciting, crisply drawn football scenes whose action even a newcomer to the sport can easily follow. His visually oriented writing style defines people solely through their behavior, a tactic that makes the villains particularly one-dimensional; Blackwell is the most fully realized character. Sprinkled with a lot of football violence and some nongraphic sex, this book will appeal to older YA readers and football fans of any age.
