A small player with an enormous drive to succeed, the story of Floyd Little is one of struggle, hard work and beating the odds. As he details in Promises to Keep: My Inspired Run from Syracuse to Denver to the Hall written by Little himself with Tom Mackie, the journey from scrawny kid with poor grades to Pro Football Hall of Famer with a law degree was not an easy one.
Growing up dirt poor with his single mother and six siblings in Waterbury, Connecticut, Little found himself failing out of school and constantly in and out of fights. After a life changing moment, he decided he needed an attitude overhaul and threw himself into school. Along the way he discovered his surprising talent on the football field and never looked back. In Promises to Keep, Little describes how his positive attitude and tireless struggle to succeed helped him become a three-time All-American running back for Syracuse University and Pro Football Hall of Famer. He also delves into:
Dedicated, hard-working and highly respected, Little always maintained his humility and positive outlook- never once believing when someone told him he couldn't accomplish something. Inspiring, touching and often humorous, Promises to Keep celebrates the struggles and triumphs of this all-American football legend.
