He holds multiple records, including those for postseason rushing average, consecutive 100-yard rushing games in the postseason, and best per-game rushing average.

The Greatest Running Back EVER!!!
Rating  (5)
Date: 2006-11-16
Have you ever seen Terrell Davis play football? Well Terrell Davis was the one of the best running backs for the Denver Broncos and the NFL. Terrell is an African- American man who lived in a bad neighborhood. Also, he had a lot of migraine headaches. As a kid he played little league football and went on to play high school football. In high school, he played on offense and defense being the best player on his team. The college scouts saw Terrell's talent in football, so he earned a scholarship to play football at Georgia (the college). He finished college and then got drafted in the 6th round by the Denver Broncos. Terrell was a slow runner, but was tough and buff. Terrell couldn't play as a rookie for a little while but the next year he became the starting running back for the Broncos. Terrell led his team to two Super Bowl victories with John Elway. John Elway was one of the best quarterbacks. (A quarterback is a person who throws the football to a receiver and hikes the ball). Before Terrell retired, he set a lot of records, won lots of awards, and won one MVP award. I learned all of this by reading,On the Field with Terrell Davis, by Matt Christopher.
I liked this book because it tells you about football and the best player in the NFL. Also, I liked this book because it tells you about all the highlights and the childhood of Terrell. Matt Christopher has written a lot of books about sports stars. He wrote about Tiger Woods, Randy Johnson, Greg Maddox, and Steve Young. I read most of his books but I really like reading the book about Terrell Davis. I recommend this book to football fans.

On the Field with Terrell Davis
Rating (5)
Date: 2004-12-14
On The Field With Terrell Davis was great. Terrell Davis's rushing record was 329 yards. Terrell Davis grew up around drugs and alcohol. But he still went to college and
got drafted sixth in the NFL.
He was a two- time Super Bowl champion1999.In 1998, he had 78 carries, 468 yards, 6.0 average, 3 touchdowns, and 4 catch. Terrell Davis best year was in 1997. I like the book On the Field with Terrell Davis because It had his career stats. Career stats are his yards. Touchdowns and stuff like that.
I wish the book had been longer I'm not going to tell you the whole book. If you want to learn more about the book read On The Field With Terrell Davis.

This biography will delight young fans of Terrell Davis although readers without a working knowledge of football may have difficulty following the play-by-play descriptions that occur at different points in this story. The vocabulary is acceptable for the target audience, and while the writing is not outstanding - it is adequate.
