NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts comes an empowering story about friendship, community, and the power of teamwork to achieve the greatest goals.
Jalen is so excited for the new school year because this is the year he'll finally get to try out for the football team! But when he arrives at school, he learns the unthinkable-that the football team has been cut. He and his friends are devastated. But Jalen isn't ready to give up, and with some advice from some friends, maybe-just maybe-they can save the day.
Better than a Touchdown is a love letter to the power of community, being there for one another, and how a piece of good advice can change the course of a day. Told with Jalen's signature wisdom and gorgeous art by Nneka Myers, Better than a Touchdown carries a message we can all learn from: that by working together, there's nothing we can't accomplish.
