A striking celebration of decades of unparalleled access to the NFL by a critically acclaimed sports photojournalistFor the past 60 years, Michael Zagaris has taken his camera behind the scenes of the NFL, capturing the moments that define America' s game. With unparalleled access-42 Super Bowls, 49 seasons as team photographer for the San Francisco 49ers, and a behind-the-scenes passport to the rest of the NFL-Zagaris takes his aim beyond the field and to the locker room, the bench, the practices, and the training camps.
