{"product_id":"9780316479844","title":"Relentless","description":"Bill Belichick: \"Julian is the epitome of competitiveness, toughness,  and the great things that are possible when someone is determined to  achieve their goals.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTom Brady:   \"It's a privilege for me to play with someone as special as Julian.\"  \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe  Super Bowl champion wide receiver for the New England  Patriots shares  his inspiring story of an underdog kid who was always  doubted to  becoming one of the most reliable and inspiring players in  the NFL.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   When the Patriots were down 28-3 in Super Bowl LI,  there was at least  one player who refused to believe they would lose:  Julian Edelman. And  he said so. It wasn't only because of his belief in  his teammates, led  by the master of the comeback, his friend and  quarterback Tom Brady-or  the coaching staff run by the legendary Bill  Belichick. It was also  because he had been counted out in most of his  life and career, and he  had proved them all wrong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Whether it  was in Pop Warner  football, where his Redwood City, California, team won  a national  championship; in high school where he went from a 4'10\",  95-pound  freshman running back to quarterback for an undefeated Woodside  High  team; or college, where he rewrote records at Kent State as a   dual-threat quarterback, Edelman far exceeded everyone's expectations.   Everyone's expectations, that is, except his own and those of his   father, who took extreme and unorthodox measures to drive Edelman to   quiet the doubters with ferocious competitiveness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  When he was   drafted by the Patriots in the seventh round, the 5'10\" college   quarterback was asked to field punts and play wide receiver, though he'd   never done either. But gradually, under the tutelage of a demanding   coaching staff and countless hours of off-season training with Tom   Brady, he became one of the NFL's most dynamic punt returners and top   receivers who can deliver in the biggest games.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eRelentless\u003c\/i\u003e   is the story of Edelman's rise, and the continuing dominance of the   Patriot dynasty, filled with memories of growing up with a father who   was as demanding as any NFL coach, his near-constant fight to keep his   intensity and competitiveness in check in high school and college, and   his celebrated nine seasons with the Patriots. Julian shares insights   into his relationships and rivalries, and his friendships with teammates   such as Tom Brady, Wes Welker, Matt Slater, and Randy Moss. Finally,  he  reveals the story behind \"the catch\" and life on the inside of a  team  for the ages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Inspiring, honest, and unapologetic, \u003ci\u003eRelentless\u003c\/i\u003e proves that the heart of a champion can never be measured.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*Features a limited edition poster of Edelman inside book jacket.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Hachette Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120868442352,"sku":"9780316479844","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780316479844_p0.jpg?v=1769917153","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780316479844","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
