The NFL Network late on Friday night released an episode of "A Football Life," their fantastic documentary series that looks at important football figures from our past. This time, it was about Alan Page—the best player to wear the Purple and Gold, and perhaps the best human being as well.
With the retirement of Justice Alan Page and the airing of NFL Network's documentary "A Football Life", we're reminded again of the dual careers of one of the most impactful people to step on the field and in the court in the state of Minnesota. The NFL Network did an excellent job profiling Page (excerpt here), but there's so much more to his story, both from a personal perspective to me, and to the NFL as a whole.
