"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.…
