The stories begin from when he was only a few months old, when his parents remember him grabbing his empty bottle, hurling it toward the front of their church, and clocking an older man in the head. They continue when he was 2, when he could toss a perfect spiral with a Nerf football.

It was this long, involved love for football that led Beck to begin reading nearly every sports biography he could find. Everyone from Patriots coach Bill Belichick to Bucs coach Jon Gruden to Ravens coach Brian Billick -- if they wrote it, he has read it.

''I really got into books on leadership and books on the game,'' Beck said. ``In those books, a lot of coaches share a view on how they want a player to perform. It would teach me how others became great, so hopefully I can someday do the same.''

Beck has always had an appreciation for the players and coaches who have come before him.

These quotes caught my attention real quick. Good article.. Thanks for posting it!
