There are a lot of fantastic football books out there and it's been a blast trying to read them all. There are also a bunch that aren't out there and should be. Here's a few (in no particular order).
1. Don Hutson, Packers receiver
2. Andy Smith, Cal head coach
3. Jimmy Conzelman, NFL player and coach 1920-48, and renaissance man
4. Mel Hein, Giants center
5. Marion Motley, Browns fullback
6. Bill Willis, Browns lineman
7. Hugh "Shorty" Ray, revolutionized the game through officiating
8. Clarke Hinkle, Packers fullback
9. Ollie Matson, Cardinals halfback
10. Gino Marchetti, Colts defensive end
11. Raymond Berry, Colts receiver
12. Eugene "Big Daddy" Lipscomb, Rams, Colts, Steelers defensive lineman
13. Jim Marshall, Vikings defensive lineman
14. Paul Robeson, Rutgers football player among other things
15. Dan Reeves, Rams owner
16. Steve Owen, Giants player and coach
17. John Brallier, early pro football player
18. William Heffelfinger, first pro football player
19. 1950 NFL Championship Game
20. Ozzie Newsome, Browns tight end, Ravens GM
21. Jim Parker, Colts offensive lineman

25. Emlen Tunnell, Giants and Packers defensive back
I'd read those books. Hell, I should try and write those books. Each needs to be written.
