Make Me the Best Football Player is part of the Make Me the Best Athlete series which, in addition to football, also includes the sports of track and field, baseball, basketball, hockey, lacrosse, soccer, and volleyball.

This non-fiction, easy to read text highlights five positions: quarterback, running back, wide receiver, linebacker, and defensive end. Each position has a chapter devoted to it, and a couple of top football stars who play the position are featured. Also included in each chapter historical sidebars, how-to fact boxes, tips and drills. The text also includes a glossary, additional print and online resources, and information on visiting the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The full color photos, fact boxes, and easy to read text make this book approachable by intermediate elementary through high school students.
