“Jeffrey Marx has done it again, only better than ever... Thoughtful and inspiring, The Long Snapper is a quite simply a joy to behold.” — Chicago Sun-Times

From seventh-grade Bible teacher to Super Bowl champion: the extraordinary true story of one man's improbable second chance at greatness.

When the New England Patriots called Brian Kinchen in December 2003, he was thirty-eight years old, three years removed from professional football, and settled into life as a husband, father of four, and middle school Bible teacher. Then Bill Belichick came calling. Seven short weeks later, Kinchen snapped the ball on Adam Vinatieri's legendary game-winning field goal in Super Bowl XXXVIII, one of the most dramatic finishes in NFL history.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Marx brings readers inside the Patriots' dynasty era and Kinchen's story—as much about faith and family as it is about football—with nail-biting detail, delivering an intimate portrait of an athlete who found meaning beyond the game.

For the hundreds of thousands of readers who made Marx's Season of Life a beloved classic, and for anyone drawn to second-chance stories, The Long Snapper is an essential read, a gripping, against-all-odds story that asks: What does it mean to live with purpose? And what happens when life gives you one more chance to find out?
