Tessie’s book would labeled “How To Succeed In Football Without Really Trying.” For whatever reason it may be, Tessie has never really contributed on the field in a consistent way. A huge game here and there with an interception or a sack or two, but never anything that you would really consider a stat line worthy from your 1st round pick. However, despite never really contributing on the field Tessie has been in several deep playoff runs across major and minor leagues. Including winning a title with Chicago in a playoffs where she just basically sat in the field and let the rest of the defense do the work. Not on her for a lack of trying, she just had too many good teammates who would get to the ball before she could. This is why her book would be really successful. It’s written by a player who tries their hardest every single game on the field, but still gets to relax and get good results.
