Rainey actually reads quite a bit more than you would imagine a running back that made his career running over folks instead of around them would. He enjoys science fiction and fantasy and has been known to crack a joke about the prevalence of wraiths as evil enemies in a number of fantasy novels. Rainey is currently reading The Expanse, a near future sci-fi series written by the writing assistant of George R. Martin of Game of Thrones fame. The Expanse appeals to Rainey because it deals with humans in difficult conditions making things work despite those difficulties. There is a similarity to Rainey’s football career in that he also has had to make the best of what didn’t look like a promising career. I’m a blunt force tailback in a speed back’s league. Every week I read a bit of this book and I’m reminded that I can achieve incredible things with my ability and will.
