I was born with an obsession for football. Unfortunately, I was born with something else. A  heart disease called Wolf Parkson White Syndrome. This book is about my improbable comeback to the game I was destined to play, while battling a congenital illness that was killing me from the inside. After suffered a near-death experience of sudden cardiac arrest at Texas A&M, I moved forward with the surgery in hopes of returning to the team, despite the naysayers, and stayed committed to my dream to become a NFL player.
