Reid chronicles the triumphs and tragedies, the swagger and psychology, and power and vulnerabilities, and the history and impact of the Black quarterback. His book chronicles both the history of Black payers in the NFL and the careers of many groundbreaking Black quarterbacks. What made the pioneering men uniquely gifted, skilled athletes? What qualities make a quarterback a great quarterback and how did they deal with and endure discrimination and hardship? Reid shows that when it comes to sports and race, it's not always about how you play the game. It's how you shape it.
