Free Spirit at Free Safety

Bill Bradley emerged from the Cottonmouth Blues Wagon - otherwise known as a Volkswagen Bus -- all set to make his mark in pro football.  He was a rare commodity in the early 1970s in the NFL.an athlete with the smarts and the physical prowess to succeed at several different positions on the field.  But it was at free safety where he became famous. Free Spirit at Free Safety: The Incredible (But True!) Football Journey of Bill Bradley explores this extraordinary player's life, from his youngest years in Palestine, Texas, to his exploits at the University of Texas, to his accomplishments with the Philadelphia Eagles in the 1970s, and to his football coaching career over the past several decades.  But what really makes him unique is his ability and his willingness to have fun, and to "just be himself."  Bradley was - and still is - an iconoclast, who has his own ideas, and who lives by his own code of adventure.  And his life certainly represents those words accurately.an adventure.
