The Blind Side by Michael Lewis is a story about football and a family. The story begins by explaining the evolution of the game. If the quarterback is the highest-paid position in the game, the evolution of the game is that the second highest-paid position is the one that provides protection for the quarterback, the left tackle.
The book also tells the story about Michael Oher, a poor black kid growing up in Memphis, Tn. Michael is adopted by a rich white family, the Tuoheys. The story follows Michael as he enters a Christian private school through his first year of college. It tells of his struggles from grades to social skills. The story also shows a side of college football recruiting and the NCAA. It’s a must read for any football fan.
