Shaun Alexander

Shaun Alexander is, in my book, the embodiment of goal-line will. From Florence, Kentucky to Alabama and then the Seattle Seahawks in 2000, he played running back, the position that absorbs the most punishment, and kept forcing his way across the line anyway. At 180 cm he was never the biggest man on the field, which makes his success a story about resolve more than raw size. I imagine the blend of calculation and instinct that defined his running. Honestly, I am moved less by his numbers than by the willingness to take the hit and still go forward.
