  2. Introduction

  3. Why I Chose This Book • I am a diehard sports fan. I enjoy nothing more than reading anything that involves the world of sports. • The book is told from the views of a 12-year-old boy who goes through the same ways of life as most students in middle school, and athletes in the adolescent age who undergo pressure in games. • This book is written by a former NFL All-Pro defensive end, who knows the game of football better than anyone. He explains the game clearly for those who are unfamiliar with the game.

  4. Summary • Football Genius is a realistic fictional novel about a 12-year-old boy named Troy White, who has an unbelievable talent unlike any other boy his age. • Troy can watch a football game and see plays before they happen, no matter whether he’s predicting offensive or defensive plays. • He plays for a local team known as the Duluth Tigers, with his best friends Tate (kicker), and Nathan (offensive line). • Troy is the second string quarterback behind Jamie Renfro, the coach’s son, who is 10 times worse than Troy, and hates Troy’s beloved Atlanta Falcons.

  5. Summary (cont.) • Troy’s mom works in the PR dept. for the Atlanta Falcons, and gives Troy an opportunity to go onto the field and watch the game via an all-access pass. • Troy predicted every play perfectly, but he had to tell someone what the opposing team, the Dallas Cowboys, were going to do offensively. • He is then thrown out of the stadium for running onto the bench.
