Walt Sweeney was one of the greatest linemen ever to play in the National Football League. During his 13-year career with the San Diego Chargers and the Washington Redskins, he was an All-Star 9 times. He was also a victim of performance-enhancing drugs before anyone knew what they were...performance-enhancing drugs that his employers required him to take. Off Guard is Sweeney s story of his tumultuous career and his equally tumultuous life after football, when he had to deal with the disabilities brought about by the same performance-enhancing drugs. It s also the story of his confrontations with the NFL and its Players Association over their responsibilities to himself and other football players who simply followed their employers instructions. Off Guard tells Sweeney s story with frankness and humor. It makes a human being out of a legend and leaves readers feeling that they this hall-of-fame lineman personally.
