Ex-NFL star energizes APS students through reading, working out

Former Atlanta Falcons defensive end Tim Green paused after reading the end of the third chapter of his new book, “Kid Owner,” setting his sights on the 75 or so students from Parkside Elementary in Atlanta chosen to hear him read.

They wanted more.

“That’s why I do it,” Green said after passing out copies of the book to the students in attendance. “I love being an author and I love writing for kids. I love seeing that reaction to know that kids are enjoying my stories.”
