Quotes

Ben Schwartzwalder: "I won't tell him He'll be the next Ernie Davis, because there'll never be another Ernie Davis."

Ernie Davis: "[last] Thing is: I don't know how much more is in front of me, and as you see from the number of pages if you've read this far, I did have a few things to say and I'm not sure how to end this, or even if I want to. It's funny. Most people think my life has been all about football. I've even thought that myself. But football is just a game. What matters is what you play for. Sometimes when the game is close and everything is on the line, that's when you forget the crowd and the noise."

[⋯]: "That's when it's just you against somebody else to see who is the better man. That's what I like about the game. Because at that moment: You are friends; and You are enemies; and You are brothers."

Ernie Davis: "[first] 21 straight lines; 5 yards apart - That is a football field. ⋯but there are other lines you don't see that run deeper and wider. All the way through the country, and aren't part of any game."
