by Malcolm Jenkins
Foreword by Tom Brady
““[A] thoughtful memoir by a football great… [The book offers] play-by-play memories of important games, as well as an insider’s account of the unexpectedly complex work required in training, especially for a rookie… Fans of Jenkins on and off the field will take much pleasure in this action-packed account of gridiron life.”
”
In WHAT WINNERS WON’T TELL YOU (Simon & Schuster; On Sale: September 5, 2023), two-time Super Bowl champion, three-time Pro-Bowler, first round draft pick, and former Jim Thorpe Award recipient Malcolm Jenkins looks back on his renowned thirteen-year NFL career and his life beyond football.
Jenkins knows a thing or two about winning. Over the course of his thirteen-year NFL career, the now retired defensive back’s triumphs extend beyond those on the football field. As a successful entrepreneur, he has seen the blossoming of his business ventures with an eponymous company named Malcolm Inc., and a media conglomerate named Listen Up Media. As a philanthropist, he strives to make a positive difference in the lives of young people in underserved communities through The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation. And as the father of two daughters, he understands the challenges of loving his children, and preparing them for an often unkind and hostile world. But for every triumph, there is a tragedy, for every loss, a lesson.
In WHAT WINNERS WON’T TELL YOU, Jenkins share with readers the insight he’s gained from winning and losing alike. One moment, Jenkins is riding high from being the only NFL Player to have Super Bowl victories against Hall of Fame quarterbacks, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady and then he’s navigating the harrowing low of a divorce from the mother of his children. In another moment he’s advocating for the advances of Black people in America, and then feuding publicly about the direction of this advocacy.
Providing fans and readers alike with an intimate portrayal of life on and off the field, detailed breakdowns of his greatest moments against the games premiere players, and poignant reflections about what it means to straddle the narrow line between victory and defeat, WHAT WINNERS WON’T TELL YOU is the best kept secret for those who want to know what it takes to be a champion.
