Drive: An Autobiography

He is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and a two-time Super Bowl Champion who retired as the NFL's all-time winningest quarterback. However, this is not simply a story of gridiron glory, but rather the saga one of the most intriguing athletic careers in American history.Despite being the top football player in the country out of high school and then Stanford, John Elway's career was study in perseverance. He never led his college team to a bowl game and his first three Super Bowl appearances started at disappointing and progressed to disastrous. Along the way, he became the greatest comeback artist in the history of the game and, at age 36, the oldest starting quarterback to win a Super Bowl for the first time. After repeating the feat in his final season, he retired from the game in 1999 with a resume only a handful of quarterbacks could match.After a life trained in the mental approach to sports by his football coach father, Elway returned to the NFL after more than a decade away but was unwilling to rest on his laurels, learning his craft as in the Arena League before joining the Broncos as an executive.For the first time ever, in his own words, this is Elway's story, including his teammates and coaches, wins and losses, the challenges on and off the field and the lessons learned - and what it feels like with the ball in your hand and everything on the line.
