"I've enjoyed the relationship with Dan as much or more than any I've had in my coaching career. Everyone knew he'd end up in Canton, too. I'm just glad, once again, he ends up there as a Dolphin." -from forward by Don Scula
But for all he accomplished on the football field, as a Miami Dolphin for 17 spectacular seasons, as well as during his All-American high school and college careers in Pittsburgh, Dan has distinguished himself from other professional athletes of his era with his off-the-field contributions and his intense devotion to his family and friends. As he joins his sport’s greatest legends in Canton, Ohio, Dan brings with him a distinction that goes far beyond his incredible athletic achievements. His legacy will be that of a man who raised his position and his sport to new heights, as well as that of a man who redefined the persona of the American hero during a time when professional sports were realizing the need for lasting and meaningful role models.
Dan fulfilled the roles of sports hero and American icon like few before him, pouring his energies equally and generously into his career, his family, and his community. This spectacular pictorial book tells Dan’s entire story—in his own words and through never-before-seen archival family photographs and video footage. It is the rare and inspirational story of an exceptional athlete who realized that he had the God-given tools to virtually rewrite the NFL record books, and who walked the extra miles to use that platform to make the world around him a better place. This is Dan’s personal story, and, like his life, it goes way beyond his accomplishments on the football field.
