My guys take a lot of pride in how they present themselves when they run through the tunnel onto the field, and I feel the same way when I walk into an NFL stadium.” [7] Stellato is the author of two books: 4th and Long The Odds: My Journey[12] and No Backing Down,[13][14] both about his life and sports.
