The legendary NFL receiver, all-time receptions and yards leader for the Green Bay Packers, and Dancing with the Stars champion looks back on his life and career.
When he was picked in the seventh-round of 1999 NFL draft, Donald Driver couldn’t find Green Bay on a map. He was given little chance of making the Packers roster, much less of amassing over 10,000 yards in his career and becoming a Super Bowl champion. But in an unlikely journey, Driver has overcome obstacle after obstacle to become one of the most successful players in the NFL.
Now, for the first time, Driver recalls his time growing up in Houston, spending nights living in a U-Haul trailer with his mother and stealing cars and selling drugs with his brother to get by. He recalls what it was like to walk into the locker room as a little-regarded prospect out of Alcorn State, an athlete who one year earlier thought his future was in high jump rather than football, and why he would have never made the team without the support of General Manager Ron Wolf.
With the help of his winning speed, skill, not to mention, smile, Driver became one of Brett Favre's most-trusted targets and a fan favorite at Lambeau. (Though it took some time for him to perfect his Lambeau leap.) Driven takes you inside the locker room with Favre, shares his experiences with Reggie White, and recalls his more recent role as a veteran leader for like Aaron Rodgers and Greg Jennings during their Super Bowl run in 2010. Over 14 years Driver has been through it all—game winning touchdowns, crushing playoff defeats, frightening injuries, and the glory of the Super Bowl.
Traveling off the field, Driver discuss his relationship with his wife and three children: how uncertain they were when he undertook the relentless training necessary to become a champion on the 2012 season of Dancing With the Stars, and how supportive they are of his charity work and service to God.
Driver retired on his terms after 14 years in the NFL: as a Packer for life. Driven is the definitive story of Donald Driver’s extraordinary journey.

An insiring book about a great Green Bay Packer who is a wonderful man
I had bought the hard copy when it first came out and enjoyed reading it. (I am a great fan of Donald Driver!) I must have loaned it to someone who did not return it as I could not find it anywhere when my 13 year old granddaughter asked me if I still had it. Her class is doing biographies at the present time and that's who she wanted to do hers on. Thus, I ordered the paperback copy of it on Amazon and she had it in two days. She shared her oral report of the book that she needs to present to her class and I was quite impressed with all that she learned about Donald Driver's life and what he had overcome to be the wonderful man he is today. It is a great book and both my granddaughter and I would recommend it to others.
DD tells it Humbly and honestly
Pre-ordered 2 copies and was not disappointed. Driver tells all about his life growing up to his retirement with America's Team~The Green Bay Packers. What a wonderful down`to`earth man. Driver tells tales on and off the field which are at times quite funny. Very easy and enjoyable read. I plan to purchase more copies to give for x-mas gifts. The receiver's (lol) of this book will be entertained, enlightened, and inspired from page 1 to the very end. I hope Quickie contiunues to pen a few more books about his life, family, and perhaps a more in`depth account of his years playing as a Green Bay packer.
I really liked the book
Big DD fan, I really liked the book, so much so that I actually finished it off in a day. First time for everything. Feel like the font and spacing is larger than most to make the book thicker, that is my only knock. The story itself is pretty amazing, and it is good to see what a great person Donald has turned into coming from the background that he did. Things definitely could have turned out completely different for him. This is a good motivational book and a great read for any packer fan!
It's Donald - what is there to say!
Oh Donald. Every Packer fan who watched Donald's career will be delighted with his story. So refreshing to read the story of one of the good guys of sports, loyal to his team, no scandals, no greed for more money or the best offer out there. He is everything a sports hero should be, a man you actually want your kids to look up to. His story crosses team barriers, gives inspiration and hope to those who find themselves in unforgiving circumstances. Admittedly a Donald fan, but highly recommend this book.
A Loyal Legend
This book is inspiring. Donald tells his story with no holds barred. He takes us through his early life, where things didn't always go the way he wanted, all the way to his college years where he met the love of his life. As a Packer fan, I will always hold #80 near and dear, but his story can inspire others to strive to be the best. I keep a copy in my classroom for my students to read. It reminds them that not everyone comes from a perfect life, but they can make their own path through hard work and dedication.
Simply great
This is such a great and uplifting read. Driver holds no punches when writing about his youth and journey into young adulthood. He did his share of stealing and selling of drugs, and made no excuses. His already well-documented time with the Green Bay Packers were, to me, the highlight of the book, because he riddles the pages with plenty of anecdotes about one of my favorite sports teams and the personalities that make it up. The entire book is full of love, hope, and spirit that only Quickie could cook up!
Interesting Saga
It was encouraging to read Mr. Driver's story. As the principal of an urban school, I deal with students who have similar childhood experiences to Mr. Driver's. It's inspiring to read how he made it. I would love to have him as a guest on my book talk radio show The Reading Circle with Marc Medley. Nice job Mr. Driver. Best to you and your family.
Inspirational how hard work and perseverance can overcome
Thoroughly enjoyed Donald's life story and his honesty over some of the poor choices he made growing up and his feelings when he was drafted low down in the picks. His tenacity to keep going and work harder with a smile on his face yo achieve his goals and his love for his wife was infectious. Any Packer nation fan will love this book, but also very relevant for any football fan and also those who need a see a true story of when life gives you lemons you can make lemonade if you surround your self with family that loves you and managers and team who respect your hard work ethic.
Good, not great.
Certainly an interesting story but you could tell Donald wrote it himself instead of dictating it to a professional writer. I finished it in a few days and enjoyed it, but it read a little choppy and didn't have the smooth flow of a professional. I was also hoping (but not really expecting) to hear some real locker room dirt but, sadly, Driver is too much of a class act. All in all, not bad but not great either.
Great story
Already thought I knew everything about DD so I thought the book wouldn't be that interesting. Donald told his story with candor. He was honest about not so good choices he made. He gave credit to those who raised him, make good decisions or helped him in his career. Something you don't see too many athletes do. They think they are god but Donald frequently thanks and gives God the glory for his wife, kids, talent and career. Well written and an easy read.

The Hero is a Jerk?
This book was a big disappointment to me. I'm a cheesehead from Wisconsin and a shareholder of the Packers. I have always been a huge Donald Driver fan. But instead of giving me a positive impression, it left me with a more negative image of Driver. Yes, he came from a poor background, but the things he did were really horrible. Even though he talks about his strong Christian background all throughout the book, at no time does he apologize for what he did or seem to express any concern or remorse toward his victims. That really bothers me. He seems to have an excuse for anything he ever did. He came off as very self centered, and I have concluded that is what he really is. The book spent so little time on his career with the Packers which is what I was most interested in. I don't think he was at all fairly treated by the Packers, and I think he could still be playing for them at a high level. Maybe his atitude played a part in that - we'll never know. I was never aware of all the off-season surgeries he had, but he apparently didn't want anyone to know. I loved him on "Dancing with the Stars"; I only watched it because of him. Again, more stories about the show would have been interesting. How many times did he have to tell us he wasn't attracted to Peta? Isn't that a little insulting to her? Unfortunately, my hero ended up in the dumpster after reading this one.

I chose this book for my teenage grandsons for Christmas because of the recommendation by my daughter after she and her friends read it and were awed by Donald Drivers personal testimony. Seeing what this man accomplished in his life and his personal testimony to the Lord Jesus Christ after the upbringing he had is insightful and inspiring. Well written!
Amazing man. Great read!
This book takes a raw look at DD's life! What an amazing man to be so honest about his life story. I love the Packers and I love Donald! I couldn't put this book down! I re-lived some awesome games while reading it!
Donald inspires.
I love the book and how he changed his life around, he can truly inspire other kids out there to not give up and to strive for better in life. The only thing is that if I pre-ordered I was to receive an autograph and book plate, very disappointed it wasn't. Those who couldn't get to a signing got a blank book, I love Donald but could at least have signed books.
Inspirational
I placed an advanced order for 2 of these books. I'm not one for autobiographies as there are more statistics than what is at my interest level. But the book(s) came right on time. The life story of Donald Driver is one of inspiration for those down on their luck and those who are not. If I didn't know what a phenomenal person D. Driver turned out to be, I don't know that his early history would impress me to read on,--but do! The outcome of his life is worthy of review
A nice read and a GREAT man!
I always loved watching Donald Driver.He always seemed to perform at the highest level humanly possible.This story lets one understand part of the reason why.He is a very good man and we miss him playing for the Packers and wish him the best.Every penny he makes on this book he DESERVES!

Really enjoyed this book. I have lived in Green Bay for most of my life and I am a huge Packer fan as well as a huge Donald Driver fan. Was really interesting hearing some of his stories and feelings on everything from his childhood, Brett Favre, to Dancing With The Stars. If you are a Packer fan and Donald Driver fan you will enjoy reading it.
I love Double D
I love Double D. It was an ibteresting story. Easy read. There were times that I felt things were repeated from chaoter to chaoter but Donald is a stand uo guy. What a life he has lead and truly blesses. Im proud to always wear his number and this story just confiemed why. Love you DD!
Great book! False advertising.
I ordered 1 book at 2 different times and both advertised an autographed book plate. No book plates in either of the books that I received at 2 different times, I really do hope this was a mishap and not a way to sell the book. Donald sells it himself! I would've bought the book without the autograph but very disappointed they didn't have it.
An insiring book about a great Green Bay Packer who is a wonderful man
I had bought the hard copy when it first came out and enjoyed reading it. (I am a great fan of Donald Driver!) I must have loaned it to someone who did not return it as I could not find it anywhere when my 13 year old granddaughter asked me if I still had it. Her class is doing biographies at the present time and that's who she wanted to do hers on. Thus, I ordered the paperback copy of it on Amazon and she had it in two days. She shared her oral report of the book that she needs to present to her class and I was quite impressed with all that she learned about Donald Driver's life and what he had overcome to be the wonderful man he is today. It is a great book and both my granddaughter and I would recommend it to others.
DD tells it Humbly and honestly
Pre-ordered 2 copies and was not disappointed. Driver tells all about his life growing up to his retirement with America's Team~The Green Bay Packers. What a wonderful down`to`earth man. Driver tells tales on and off the field which are at times quite funny. Very easy and enjoyable read. I plan to purchase more copies to give for x-mas gifts. The receiver's (lol) of this book will be entertained, enlightened, and inspired from page 1 to the very end. I hope Quickie contiunues to pen a few more books about his life, family, and perhaps a more in`depth account of his years playing as a Green Bay packer.
I really liked the book
Big DD fan, I really liked the book, so much so that I actually finished it off in a day. First time for everything. Feel like the font and spacing is larger than most to make the book thicker, that is my only knock. The story itself is pretty amazing, and it is good to see what a great person Donald has turned into coming from the background that he did. Things definitely could have turned out completely different for him. This is a good motivational book and a great read for any packer fan!
It's Donald - what is there to say!
Oh Donald. Every Packer fan who watched Donald's career will be delighted with his story. So refreshing to read the story of one of the good guys of sports, loyal to his team, no scandals, no greed for more money or the best offer out there. He is everything a sports hero should be, a man you actually want your kids to look up to. His story crosses team barriers, gives inspiration and hope to those who find themselves in unforgiving circumstances. Admittedly a Donald fan, but highly recommend this book.
A Loyal Legend
This book is inspiring. Donald tells his story with no holds barred. He takes us through his early life, where things didn't always go the way he wanted, all the way to his college years where he met the love of his life. As a Packer fan, I will always hold #80 near and dear, but his story can inspire others to strive to be the best. I keep a copy in my classroom for my students to read. It reminds them that not everyone comes from a perfect life, but they can make their own path through hard work and dedication.
Simply great
This is such a great and uplifting read. Driver holds no punches when writing about his youth and journey into young adulthood. He did his share of stealing and selling of drugs, and made no excuses. His already well-documented time with the Green Bay Packers were, to me, the highlight of the book, because he riddles the pages with plenty of anecdotes about one of my favorite sports teams and the personalities that make it up. The entire book is full of love, hope, and spirit that only Quickie could cook up!
Interesting Saga
It was encouraging to read Mr. Driver's story. As the principal of an urban school, I deal with students who have similar childhood experiences to Mr. Driver's. It's inspiring to read how he made it. I would love to have him as a guest on my book talk radio show The Reading Circle with Marc Medley. Nice job Mr. Driver. Best to you and your family.
Inspirational how hard work and perseverance can overcome
Thoroughly enjoyed Donald's life story and his honesty over some of the poor choices he made growing up and his feelings when he was drafted low down in the picks. His tenacity to keep going and work harder with a smile on his face yo achieve his goals and his love for his wife was infectious. Any Packer nation fan will love this book, but also very relevant for any football fan and also those who need a see a true story of when life gives you lemons you can make lemonade if you surround your self with family that loves you and managers and team who respect your hard work ethic.
Good, not great.
Certainly an interesting story but you could tell Donald wrote it himself instead of dictating it to a professional writer. I finished it in a few days and enjoyed it, but it read a little choppy and didn't have the smooth flow of a professional. I was also hoping (but not really expecting) to hear some real locker room dirt but, sadly, Driver is too much of a class act. All in all, not bad but not great either.
Great story
Already thought I knew everything about DD so I thought the book wouldn't be that interesting. Donald told his story with candor. He was honest about not so good choices he made. He gave credit to those who raised him, make good decisions or helped him in his career. Something you don't see too many athletes do. They think they are god but Donald frequently thanks and gives God the glory for his wife, kids, talent and career. Well written and an easy read.
Great Read
Donald Driver has always been one of my favorite Green Bay Packers players. It was interesting to hear his story from childhood to adulthood. It was fascinating to read how he grew from a kid in trouble doing bad things in his youth to becoming a superstar athlete. Very interesting. Definitely by this book.
A TRULY INSPIRATIONAL TRUE STORY!!!
One of the best books that I have purchased in a hard cover...it's a remarkable life story from a great guy! I also received my signed book plate and poster as promised via UPS as promised several weeks after the arrival of the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a truly inspirational story!
Driven book
Gave this to our daughter as a gift as she is a huge Packers fan. She (12 yrs old) read the book in about 2 hours and couldn't put it down. She said it's really good and interesting, but it had some topics that weren't appropriate for younger people to read (for example, drug selling, stealing cars, fights, guns, etc.)
a nice guy
Donald was our hero on and off the Packer field long before he wrote a book. he still returns to Wisconsin often to promote his charities for humanity. he had a humble beginning and attained greatness in his life. just a good person and a very good book.
Just Okay
Donald has written a very basic book about his life. It's a good read for Packers fans but there just isn't enough other than the basics to rate it higher. Reggie White "In The Trenches" or Ray Nitschke "Mean on Sundays" are much better imo.
Donald is the best!
I've always admired Donald as a player and a person. This book solidified just how great he is. I will always admire his strength and his ability to do the right thing even though it is not always was to do.
what a life!
Although I am not really a huge football fan,my husband is a big Packer backer ,so I got this book and we both read it. Driver has lead a very colorful life...good to see you can turn your life around if you want to.I will say the writing is very amateur...a lot of spelling and grammar errors...but an interesting story.
What a testimony to what one can do.
Being a Packer fan away from home and a strong admirer of people like Donald Driver, I found this book to be what you would expect. Well written, easy to read with apparently little embellishment. Some in-depth personal "stuff" that would have discouraged almost anyone. Read and appreciate what you have.
Oh!What a life!!!
Fascinating story about a member of the Green and Gold. Driver talks about his life growing up and does not sugar coat it. He could have become a drug dealer or a college graduate. He decided to take the path of education and then became a professional football player. A must read for all Packer fans!
Five Stars
I Did read this before but wanted to OWN the book.I did read it again...its inspiring!
An insiring book about a great Green Bay Packer who is a wonderful man
I had bought the hard copy when it first came out and enjoyed reading it. (I am a great fan of Donald Driver!) I must have loaned it to someone who did not return it as I could not find it anywhere when my 13 year old granddaughter asked me if I still had it. Her class is doing biographies at the present time and that's who she wanted to do hers on. Thus, I ordered the paperback copy of it on Amazon and she had it in two days. She shared her oral report of the book that she needs to present to her class and I was quite impressed with all that she learned about Donald Driver's life and what he had overcome to be the wonderful man he is today. It is a great book and both my granddaughter and I would recommend it to others.

Excited and pleased
Ordered this for my brother for Christmas. We really like Donald Driver and his attitude to life. He is very humble and down to earth. My brother was thrilled with this gift. Well written book with great pictures. If you are a Donald Driver fan by all means purchase this book, you won't be sorry.
Donald is an amzing Man
I Loved the Book. He is a positive role model for everybody. It tells his struggles and all the while he keeps on smiling and going forward. Great family man too, not to mention he was one of the BEST wide receivers in the NFL. Superbowl trophy and Dancing with the Stars Mirror Ball trophy, a man of many talents !!!
Donald Driver- - the Ultimate Football Gentleman
I purchased this as a gift but am very familiar with Donald Driver, the Green Bay Packer Wide Receiver! How can you go wrong learning more about a man who suffered homelessness, enough food, a bout with drugs and moved onto a successful Pro Football career and a winner of Dancing With The Stars!!
excellent inside story
Packer Fans around the world will enjoy reading this warm and human inside story written by a most sincere former GB packer great. Donald Driver is and always will be a Green Bay Packer. He is a good christian man who loves his family and his football. What a great story, so powerful with many life lessons.
LOVE DD!!
I'm from Green Bay and used to see Donald and his family around town quite often, GREAT GUY!!! Very humble and an excellent family man. This is a MUST READ for any packer fan, or even anyone who likes a good story of overcoming adversity.
A Great Book For Any Packers Fan
As a diehard Green Bay Packers Fan and a huge fan of Donald Driver I absolutely loved this book. It gave so much insight into his life on and off the field. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is a Green Bay Packers fan.
or love a story of a man going from the bottom ...
If you are a Packers fan, sports fan in general, or love a story of a man going from the bottom all the way to the top, then this is a wonderful book to check-out. It was very hard for me to put down and ended up reading it in one day.
Driven - A true inspirational read.
Donald Driver was an amazing football player and my favorite to watch on the field. Also his charitable acts are so commendable that you just want to learn more about the life that such a man lived. He is an inspiration to young people that they can overcome the bad things that life throws then. I would recommend this book to all football fans, especially Greenbay Packer fans and to all young people stuggling with addictions of any sort, to show they can overcome, with will power and the right people in their lives.
Double D's Delivers!
Not the greatest Packers book of all time but the book by the greatest Packers player ever. From the tough streets to stardom. Dancing ' Donald Driver's life story is a reminder anything is possible and greatness can be achieved no matter what. I loved it, Quickie!!
With determination and hard work you can change your life
True story about hard work and determination. Gives reader the truth of what it's like living poor. Gives the hope that no matter where you came from you can with work make it big. Gives hope to all. Answers some of the questions about Driver and why he does what he does.

Driven by Donald Driver
Donald Driver writing about his life and the hard knocks he had to the great life of a Green Bay Packer was very interesting as also exciting to read about. I read the book in two days and enjoyed ever page, He is a Packer for Life!!!!
Fantastic book by an incredible player and an even more amazing person
I'll admit I've always been a die hard Driver fan so I knew I'd like the book. I didn't realize that I'd like it this much though. Inspiring to read where he's come from and how far he's managed to go. Love him even more after reading about how good he is to his family. You won't be disappointed by this book. I just hope to someday meet him in person and get my copy signed.
Fantastic!
This book is TRULY an inspiration! The ugly and awful things he went through as a child, breaks some people. Donald overcame all of those adversities, all of that ugliness and all of the struggle, to become an amazing man with a heart of gold. If you take away anything from this book, take away knowing that you really can overcome evil.
Excellent read
Hey I'm a Packer fan what can I say I love Donald and love his book. It's about a guy who had a rough childhood but made the best of it to become a top notch wide receiver, good father and a nice guy that pays it forward. Have met Donald and he is a nice guy!
Five Stars
great read
Any bio about a GBP great is bound to be a hit
Any bio about a GBP great is bound to be a hit, and "Driven" did not disappoint! Kudos to DD for his honesty, the amazing tales of his most challenging and enterprising youth, and a telling look into his life. I'm more of a fan of his now than I was even during his fabulous career in the Green and Gold.
Driven by Donald Driver
Very good book. It was well written and I was amazed how Donald Driver came out of the ghetto and a hard life to become one of the great Packers. He is an inspiration to everyone. Loved the book.
Five Stars
Love this book DD
You Can Be A Good Person and Win!
Donald Driver is such a humble and likable guy. I have followed his career with the Packers, but, more recently watched his journey on Dancing With The Stars. He appears to be the real deal - If he wrote another book, I would probably buy that one too!! I love that he is taking care of his family and hope that they all appreciate his generosity and kindness. You're the greatest Donald. By-the-way, I am a 70 year old while grandmother who happens to love football and good people.....just sayin'!

A Must Read About One of Sport's True Heroes
Donald Driver has been one of my heroes ever since I was a gangly teenager watching him at Packer practice with my dad. This book is amazing and shows even non Packer fans that Driver is one of the rare genuine heroes in sports today! In addition, this book is so inspirational! It shows the reader if Donald Driver could overcome all these adversities and still become a Packer and Super Bowl star, I can overcome anything too!!! A must read!!!
Excellent read on how love can create a partnership and ...
Excellent read on how love can create a partnership and foundation to improve and save a life that was headed for destruction. Donald is a real role model on what life can become and how he has improved those lives that he has touched.
How Driver got out of the ghetto
I learned a great deal I did not know about Driver. I liked hearing about his story growing up in the ghetto. I did not know that he was a gangster in his early life until I discovered this book. This is very fun to read and has a positive message.
Four Stars
Great book. Good value with a prompt delivery.
Great story!
This is such a great story! Perhaps I'm a bit biased being a Packer fan, but who doesn't love to see something like this?! His life could have taken such a different path and for it to turn out as it has, simply wonderful. An inspiration to many! Thank you for all your years as a Packer!
Great story
Donald Driver has always been my favorite football player. I enjoyed his biography and am so impressed with the way he turned his life around. It is a great story for anyone who doesn't believe they can get ahead in life.
Loved It!
I am not sure if it is just because I am from Wisconsin, a Packers fan and a big fan of Donald Driver but I loved the book. It was very interesting to learn how the background of the NFL works. Many of the fans seem to forget that it is all business!
That's our Donald
Now we know why Donald has that killer smile! He has overcome a lot of obstacles in his life, found his Packer family both in the locker room and fans, and best of all, is married to his soul mate who helps keep him true to himself. A wonderful read where I learned about his trying childhood, and what made him the man he is. A must read, especially for Packer fans!
DOUBLE "D" Always a PACKER!!!
Donald is an inspiration to everyone. Reading about his background (which totally shocked me) to where he is today, what an awesome young man. With the help of God, his faith and family he accomplished his goal. I'm proud to say I'm a Donald Driver fan, as a Packer and a "Globe" winner!! His ideals remind me of a book by Gale Sayers-"God is First, Family and friends are Second, and I am Third". Good luck to you and your family Donald, enjoy your retirement!!! "ONCE A PACKER, ALWSYS A PACKER:-D
Good read
Liked the book and it was written well. I realize it was about himself but all I read was about ME ME ME. Being from the state of Wisconsin I know a lot about Donald Driver and this did tell me more about the man.

Things definitely could have turned out completely different for him. This is a good motivational book and a great read for any packer fan!
It's Donald - what is there to say!
Oh Donald. Every Packer fan who watched Donald's career will be delighted with his story. So refreshing to read the story of one of the good guys of sports, loyal to his team, no scandals, no greed for more money or the best offer out there. He is everything a sports hero should be, a man you actually want your kids to look up to. His story crosses team barriers, gives inspiration and hope to those who find themselves in unforgiving circumstances. Admittedly a Donald fan, but highly recommend this book.
A Loyal Legend
This book is inspiring. Donald tells his story with no holds barred. He takes us through his early life, where things didn't always go the way he wanted, all the way to his college years where he met the love of his life. As a Packer fan, I will always hold #80 near and dear, but his story can inspire others to strive to be the best. I keep a copy in my classroom for my students to read. It reminds them that not everyone comes from a perfect life, but they can make their own path through hard work and dedication.
Simply great
This is such a great and uplifting read. Driver holds no punches when writing about his youth and journey into young adulthood. He did his share of stealing and selling of drugs, and made no excuses. His already well-documented time with the Green Bay Packers were, to me, the highlight of the book, because he riddles the pages with plenty of anecdotes about one of my favorite sports teams and the personalities that make it up. The entire book is full of love, hope, and spirit that only Quickie could cook up!
Interesting Saga
It was encouraging to read Mr. Driver's story. As the principal of an urban school, I deal with students who have similar childhood experiences to Mr. Driver's. It's inspiring to read how he made it. I would love to have him as a guest on my book talk radio show The Reading Circle with Marc Medley. Nice job Mr. Driver. Best to you and your family.
Inspirational how hard work and perseverance can overcome
Thoroughly enjoyed Donald's life story and his honesty over some of the poor choices he made growing up and his feelings when he was drafted low down in the picks. His tenacity to keep going and work harder with a smile on his face yo achieve his goals and his love for his wife was infectious. Any Packer nation fan will love this book, but also very relevant for any football fan and also those who need a see a true story of when life gives you lemons you can make lemonade if you surround your self with family that loves you and managers and team who respect your hard work ethic.
Good, not great.
Certainly an interesting story but you could tell Donald wrote it himself instead of dictating it to a professional writer. I finished it in a few days and enjoyed it, but it read a little choppy and didn't have the smooth flow of a professional. I was also hoping (but not really expecting) to hear some real locker room dirt but, sadly, Driver is too much of a class act. All in all, not bad but not great either.
Great story
Already thought I knew everything about DD so I thought the book wouldn't be that interesting. Donald told his story with candor. He was honest about not so good choices he made. He gave credit to those who raised him, make good decisions or helped him in his career. Something you don't see too many athletes do. They think they are god but Donald frequently thanks and gives God the glory for his wife, kids, talent and career. Well written and an easy read.
If you love DD, you will love this book
I absolutely loved this book. I pre-ordered it off of Amazon. If you are a Donald Driver fan, this is a must read book. I love how honest he is and all the charity work he does. Being a die hard Green Bay Packers fan, I knew I needed to get this book. You may be shocked by some of the details.
Great
My husband love it!
Not just for Packer fans.
As a lifelong Cheesehead (Packer fan) I was really interested in what "Driven" would reveal about one of our biggest stars. This book tells how after a childhood that included a father in prison being homeless, and selling drugs, he was able to turn it around to become the inspirational husband, father, football player and human being we see today. Driven, does not disappoint.
Love The Donald!
Just started reading this book, but how could it be bad? It's Donald!! We've always been and always will be Huge Packer Fans and Donald helped to make the many wonderful memories we will forever remember.
Inspirational
Donald Driver is an inspiration to millions of people that with a positive attitude, dream and hard work you can achieve any goal you set your mind to achieve! He allowed us to see the real him, even the parts that most people want to hide as it doesn't fit an image their agent have given the media! As a packer fan, I also enjoyed his allowing us to have an inside peak at his career. Thank you Donald for both your dedication as a life long Packer and the lives you change with your off the field giving!
Such a good book
Such a great book, and a great story from one of my favorite Packers
Quick read and keeps you interested
This is an outstanding book! SO very glad I got it. Took no time at all to read too. Donald is such a great person and it was awesome to be able to read about his history! I recommend to anyone who is a football fan!
Great Book
This was the first complete book I've read in about six years. I couldn't put it down, and I really don't like to read. I am going to use some of the examples D D used in this book with our son. Basically it isn't what happens to us in life that matters. It is how we deal with those things that makes the difference.
For a Packer fan...
I got this for a Christmas present for my boyfriend for Christmas. He's a huge Packer fan. I have heard many good things about this book. I will update my review after it's been read.
You can achieve what you want if you work for it.
Donald Driver proved if you want something bad enough, you can get it. Out of all the bad things that happen in his life, he proved it can work to achieve what you want. He proved also as bad as he had it, some good comes out of it. It made him a better person.
An insiring book about a great Green Bay Packer who is a wonderful man
I had bought the hard copy when it first came out and enjoyed reading it. (I am a great fan of Donald Driver!) I must have loaned it to someone who did not return it as I could not find it anywhere when my 13 year old granddaughter asked me if I still had it. Her class is doing biographies at the present time and that's who she wanted to do hers on. Thus, I ordered the paperback copy of it on Amazon and she had it in two days. She shared her oral report of the book that she needs to present to her class and I was quite impressed with all that she learned about Donald Driver's life and what he had overcome to be the wonderful man he is today. It is a great book and both my granddaughter and I would recommend it to others.
DD tells it Humbly and honestly
Pre-ordered 2 copies and was not disappointed. Driver tells all about his life growing up to his retirement with America's Team~The Green Bay Packers. What a wonderful down`to`earth man. Driver tells tales on and off the field which are at times quite funny. Very easy and enjoyable read. I plan to purchase more copies to give for x-mas gifts. The receiver's (lol) of this book will be entertained, enlightened, and inspired from page 1 to the very end. I hope Quickie contiunues to pen a few more books about his life, family, and perhaps a more in`depth account of his years playing as a Green Bay packer.
I really liked the book
Big DD fan, I really liked the book, so much so that I actually finished it off in a day. First time for everything.

Love this book!
I loved this amazing story about a kid who overcame so many hardships in life to become an amazing person as a husband, father and athlete. He has given back so much! When life could have taken him down he conquered it! I've always had a fondness for him and now I know why. Such a good read that is makes you laugh and then cry...a very honest depiction of the highs and lows in his life! Loved it!
Four Stars
I like the man and I like the team, so it was a good match. Thanks Donald.
Great book, well worth the read!
Great book, I read the entire thing in 3 hours. A great insight into an amazing man.
Very interesting read!
I haven't personally read this book yet but I bought it for 2 people for Christmas and they both loved it. They said it was very interesting. Donald Driver.....what a guy!!!
Donald's Driven!
I LOVED this book and I LOVE this man! I bought three copies of this book to give as Christmas gifts and will probably buy more! He hasn't been perfect for his whole life, but he admits it and changes it! One of my favorite parts is when he was on Dancing With The Stars and won! He thanks Packernation for this and he's probably right. If you're a Packers fan, this is a must read.
Great book
This book I finished in 2 days. One of my favorite Green Bay Packer. Just goes to prove you can make your life better, from bad circumstances. Way to go Donald. Great Read and insights on professional football.
Positive, uplifting story of a good man.
Here is an example of success, but only if you work at it. Others can help, but you must have the desire to succeed and you must make the effort, no matter which career path you select.
Great Book
This is a Great Book bought others for Christmas Gifts I highly recommend it for your Sports Fans does not have to be Green Bay Fans this is a book of inspiration and a journey that will pull at your heart
Thank You Donald
A wonderful story from rags to riches in family and spiritual life as well as monetary. Thank you Donald for the fun and being a great role model.
Wonderful book and person
We love Donald Driver and the book did not disappoint. Our whole family read it! He is such an inspiration.

I really enjoyed this book, Donald has always been a favorite of mine, especially since I love the Packers. He is such a giving man, and so loved his performances on DWTS.
Five Stars
We are fans of Donald. Respect him as a man and a Green Bay Packer.
Loved watching you play
Thank you Donald for such an insightful, sometimes painfully honest autobiography! Loved watching you play, dance & smile!!!
Driven
This book is by far, one of the best books I've ever read. Donald Driver has always been a huge inspiration in my life and this book shows all the struggles he's been through in his life to get him where he is today! Things no one would have guessed such a wonderful Christian man would have struggled with in his life. He's a huge inspiration and this book will help people look at him more than just a football player but also as a inspiration as well!
Good Story
This is a good book of a person using his talent and internal drive to get where he wants to go. The writing itself is not particularly good and the timelines jump around a bit, but overall a great story of his personal sucess.
Great Driver book.
Have only scanned through it for now but waiting to sit and devour every page. It's amazing to read how he has made such progress in his life.
Five Stars
great book. love donald and so happy that he was a packer backer for so long. Go Pack Go!
Good read!
Love Donald! Great man, great athlete, great story! Still waiting for the pre-buy autograph we registered for, but that is not anything to do with Amazon.
Driven: Donald Driver
A very candid look at his life! It goes to show that just because you start with nothing, you can still be successful if you have the will to make it happen. I enjoyed the book and have passed it on to my kids to read. Besides we are all Packer Fans as well as Donald Driver fans. The man is such an inspiration!
Love it
This was an awesome read. Donald Driver is one of my top favorite receivers ever in the NFL. Pretty awesome too that he grew up near where I currently live.

Thanks Donald,
What a talented person and what an inspiration for young man to follow. Written from the heart and he tells it like it was with all it's ups as well as it's downs. A player who truly loved the game and Packer fans.
donald driven
double D is such an honorable man , family man , and a heart that is barely contained in his chest! Through all his life trails he remained a good person... caring and considerate , loyal and understanding plus he has a smile to light-up the saddest heart . The book only showed part of who he is and what he has done for the community. Thanks for the inspiration! l. Saar
Great book for all Packer fans
It was a great tell-tell book about a man unafraid to reveal his very tainted pass and how he became the man that is a true success story. It was also very insightful how NFL teams treat their players as they reach the end of their careers. It shows what a passionate man he is.
Great Story
A great story about a great football player. Donald Driver plays with class. He doesn't act and talk like most of these "EGO" men do
A real hero and Star
Donald is loved by all Packer fans. His early childhood was very tough, but he had the courage to get through his rough childhood and is such a star on and off the field!
Couldn't put it down!
Donald Driver is one of my favorite NFL Players. It was a very easy to read, can't put down, holy crud! he did that? type of book. I recommend it to anyone who loves football and fantastic football players.
Wonderful story of a true Christian man!
This is such an inspiring story of someone coming out of poverty and working hard to turn his life around. He is a man with good Christian principles and integrity. I love how he handled himself thru his Packer career and mostly with his loving wife and children. He is a valuable example for others going from rags to riches.
Five Stars
Very Happy Shipped Fast
Great book
This book was in perfect condition. My family loves Donald Driver and this was a Xmas gift for my mother. She starting reading it the day I gave it to her and can't put it down!
Amazing man!
This amazing. Donald Driver is a very special man. He continues to give of his time in the Green Bay WI area.

He gave credit to those who raised him, make good decisions or helped him in his career. Something you don't see too many athletes do. They think they are god but Donald frequently thanks and gives God the glory for his wife, kids, talent and career. Well written and an easy read.
Absolutely Inspirational!!
This book only enhances my respect and admiration for Donald Driver! Absolutely a MUST read! I found it hard to put this inspirational book down. I am a mother to a medically complex 12 year old little girl and some days I find it hard to find strength...this book has given me so much inspiration to carry on! Thank you Donald for sharing your story with all of your fans!! We love you to the moon and back! =)
The person who read it said that it was a very good read.
Purchased for a gift. The person who read it said that it was a very good read.
"Awesome" Donald
I am and always will be a "huge" Donald Driver fan. I bought all three of his children's books, even bought a set for my husbands oncology nurses son. Once I started the book I had a hard time putting it down. It was an easy reading book and Donald had an amazing life and what he did with his life considering where he came from. I hope one day I get to meet Donald Driver...that is number one on my bucket list.
He really enjoyed reading it
Bought this book for my husband. He really enjoyed reading it.
Excellent
This was a deeply moving story and a much appreciated birthday gift. It bears truth to perserverance no matter how difficult the challenges one faces.
Driven
his was an awesome book. I always like true stories and I was amazed at how he turned out considering the young life he led. I think he is a good example for young people.
Donald, a class act
Was not the best book that I have read, but it was good over all. I am a Wisconsinite and a hard core Packer fan and anyone who plays for us. Donald Driver to me will always be one of the best. He is a class act and a very hard working individual and that is what Wisconsin is all about. Go Pack!
Five Stars
Excellent book about a great Green Bay Packer star. Also a champion from Dancing With The Stars!
Really good
It was an awesome book. I am a packers fan. This was a really good book. Hope you enjoy it!!!!!!!
Packer Nation will love this
A quick read and interesting if you're watched the Packers over the years. A good read for young men without benefit of stability in their youth.
An insiring book about a great Green Bay Packer who is a wonderful man
I had bought the hard copy when it first came out and enjoyed reading it. (I am a great fan of Donald Driver!) I must have loaned it to someone who did not return it as I could not find it anywhere when my 13 year old granddaughter asked me if I still had it. Her class is doing biographies at the present time and that's who she wanted to do hers on. Thus, I ordered the paperback copy of it on Amazon and she had it in two days. She shared her oral report of the book that she needs to present to her class and I was quite impressed with all that she learned about Donald Driver's life and what he had overcome to be the wonderful man he is today. It is a great book and both my granddaughter and I would recommend it to others.
DD tells it Humbly and honestly
Pre-ordered 2 copies and was not disappointed. Driver tells all about his life growing up to his retirement with America's Team~The Green Bay Packers. What a wonderful down`to`earth man. Driver tells tales on and off the field which are at times quite funny. Very easy and enjoyable read. I plan to purchase more copies to give for x-mas gifts. The receiver's (lol) of this book will be entertained, enlightened, and inspired from page 1 to the very end. I hope Quickie contiunues to pen a few more books about his life, family, and perhaps a more in`depth account of his years playing as a Green Bay packer.
I really liked the book
Big DD fan, I really liked the book, so much so that I actually finished it off in a day. First time for everything. Feel like the font and spacing is larger than most to make the book thicker, that is my only knock. The story itself is pretty amazing, and it is good to see what a great person Donald has turned into coming from the background that he did. Things definitely could have turned out completely different for him. This is a good motivational book and a great read for any packer fan!
It's Donald - what is there to say!
Oh Donald. Every Packer fan who watched Donald's career will be delighted with his story. So refreshing to read the story of one of the good guys of sports, loyal to his team, no scandals, no greed for more money or the best offer out there. He is everything a sports hero should be, a man you actually want your kids to look up to. His story crosses team barriers, gives inspiration and hope to those who find themselves in unforgiving circumstances. Admittedly a Donald fan, but highly recommend this book.
A Loyal Legend
This book is inspiring. Donald tells his story with no holds barred. He takes us through his early life, where things didn't always go the way he wanted, all the way to his college years where he met the love of his life. As a Packer fan, I will always hold #80 near and dear, but his story can inspire others to strive to be the best. I keep a copy in my classroom for my students to read. It reminds them that not everyone comes from a perfect life, but they can make their own path through hard work and dedication.
Simply great
This is such a great and uplifting read. Driver holds no punches when writing about his youth and journey into young adulthood. He did his share of stealing and selling of drugs, and made no excuses. His already well-documented time with the Green Bay Packers were, to me, the highlight of the book, because he riddles the pages with plenty of anecdotes about one of my favorite sports teams and the personalities that make it up. The entire book is full of love, hope, and spirit that only Quickie could cook up!
Interesting Saga
It was encouraging to read Mr. Driver's story. As the principal of an urban school, I deal with students who have similar childhood experiences to Mr. Driver's. It's inspiring to read how he made it. I would love to have him as a guest on my book talk radio show The Reading Circle with Marc Medley. Nice job Mr. Driver. Best to you and your family.
Inspirational how hard work and perseverance can overcome
Thoroughly enjoyed Donald's life story and his honesty over some of the poor choices he made growing up and his feelings when he was drafted low down in the picks. His tenacity to keep going and work harder with a smile on his face yo achieve his goals and his love for his wife was infectious. Any Packer nation fan will love this book, but also very relevant for any football fan and also those who need a see a true story of when life gives you lemons you can make lemonade if you surround your self with family that loves you and managers and team who respect your hard work ethic.
Good, not great.
Certainly an interesting story but you could tell Donald wrote it himself instead of dictating it to a professional writer. I finished it in a few days and enjoyed it, but it read a little choppy and didn't have the smooth flow of a professional. I was also hoping (but not really expecting) to hear some real locker room dirt but, sadly, Driver is too much of a class act. All in all, not bad but not great either.

Great Gift Idea For Any Packer Fan
I bought this as a gift for my stepdad. He is a huge Packer fan, and he was very happy to receive this at Christmas. The price was worth it for this book. It arrived in perfect condition. The print size inside the book is a great size; its not too small and its also not super big. It seems like it'd be easy on the eyes to read.
A truly inspirational read!
What a fascinating story, about an extraordinary guy. Donald Driver is a true inspiration to not only Packer fans, but to many young people around the world.
A great gift for my Cheesehead Son-in-law
I bought this book for my son-in-laws birthday. He is a huge Packer Fan and I think Donald Driver is a great guy. I hope I get to read it some day.
Amazing
Excellent could not put it down. It was so interesting. I love him, but even more now that I know his story
Five Stars
I learned this about Donald Driver that I could not believe he did.
Great book, but waiting for the other gifts.
I got the book and started reading and couldn't put it down. However, still waiting for my Signed Book plate and Driver poster.
Love, Love, Love!
We got this for my mother in law and she absolutely loves it!! I plan on borrowing the book when she's done with it so I can read it! We are huge Packer fans and when she heard this book was coming out she had have it right away! I would recommend this book to anyone!
Five Stars
Packers
Amazing Read
Amazing read for those who are part of Packer Nation, not only was it an honor to grow up watching Driver play, but now to read his story of how he to where he is now, thanks for sharing!
A Must Read for Packers Fans
An honest story from Donald Driver. It was fun to relive some of the memories throughout his career and learn more about his life off the field.

Loved it!
I have always been a Green Bay Packer fan and especially a Donald Driver fan. After reading the book, I am even more so. I did not realize what his life was like when he was young. My only disappointment is, I was to receive an autographed name plate that has never arrived.
Donald Driver
Know I will enjoy reading this book as I am quite familiar with Mr drivers background but it's going to be a good read.
Awesome Book
Exactly what I wanted, and being able to purchase before it hit the stores was awesome! Will always use Amazon for book purchases!!
Anyone who has ever heard Donald Driver speak knows this ...
Anyone who has ever heard Donald Driver speak knows this was written from the heart, in his own words. Very open, honest and inspirational!
DRIVEN DELIVERED!
This quick, easy read was somewhat predictable, given the publicity surrounding Donald Driver, but the sincerety with which it was written made it endearing. I read it before gifting it, and have recommended it to others.
Five Stars
AMAZING PERSON and STORY!!
great read
Driver is a class dude. His biography was fun to read. I highly recommend it as a positive role model for all.
Love Reading It
It was a great book to read, but then I love the Packers, he tells about his life and how he came to be him.
Love it and him too :)
It's Donald Driver....enough said. He is an amazing person, football player, family man, a real life hero! Cannot wait to read it!
Not happy with labels that were placed over Donald's face on the cover
I loved the book as far as content, but was very sad to see that both books I purchased (both were Donald Driver's "Driven") had a large description label pasted over Donald's face on the dust covers. There certainly were other places those labels could have been placed. Ruined the look of the books.

Love this man!
I've been a Donald Driver fan for his whole career. I learned a lot more about the man and his transformation over the years from juvenile delinquent to the outstanding man he is today. Great read!
Loved every minute of it!
I loved this book. I really appreciate how truthful Donald was. He truly is an icon, and will never be forgotten.
Heartwarming story about a classy man
Great book about a man's rise from poverty to becoming a Green Bay Packer star.
Great Book
He is such a good person. I loved reading about his life.
Five Stars
Terrific all around! Thank you!
LOVE this guy!
Born and raised in Green Bay during the Bart Star era, I was anxiously waiting to read this book. If only more people could be this honest and turn away from the drug life such as Mr. Driver did! He is a class act guy! The real thing!
excellent!
I am a HUGE Packer and Donal Driver fan. I could not put this book down because the story was told so well. I would recommend this book to anyone, no matter if they were a Packer fan or not. Thank you for sharing your story with the world, Donald!
Great book!
A great story about one of our own, a GREEN BAY PACKER! The book has some wonderful pictures, and you'll learn alot about a great guy. Buy it, its very good reading.
Great book!
We love double D! Now more than ever after reading this book. What a great guy!
Donald Driver has been my favorite packer for a long long time
Donald Driver has been my favorite packer for a long long time. The man has such a humble character, extraordinary talents, and a better than amazing smile. I loved reading his life story, it was very well written and he signed my copy so that's just a bonus :)

Five Stars
Donald is an inspiration!
Double D is the best!
A wonderful person and great football player. A good roll model for young boys
Double D A forever favorite Packer
A special story about a wonderful person and a favorite Packers player. The excitement of the games was relived as Donald told his story. I have been a long time Packers fan and remember many of the games he wrote about. He had a hard life but in the end became a very special person. He will always have a special place in the heart of this Packers fan.
Great read for his fans
This is a fun read for fans of Donald Driver. He offers interesting stories of his life and experiences. You really get a sense of his "voice" and it is easy to picture the twinkling smile on his face when he recounts the good memories he has to share.
great book
Great player and gives back to Houston and GB.
Driven
This was truly a look at not only the man but how he became the wonderful man he is. A loving son, husband and father. 5 stars for sure.
Five Stars
LOVED the story and feel blessed that Amazon gave me the opportunity to receive DD's autograph!!!!!
Inspiration
I loved it because we love Donald and it was very inspirational for our grandson to read . It told how anyone can overcome adversity if they want to.
Great story
What I liked about this book was the reality of it. I love Donald Driver and also the relationship with his mother and his wife and children

This is such a great and uplifting read. Driver holds no punches when writing about his youth and journey into young adulthood. He did his share of stealing and selling of drugs, and made no excuses. His already well-documented time with the Green Bay Packers were, to me, the highlight of the book, because he riddles the pages with plenty of anecdotes about one of my favorite sports teams and the personalities that make it up. The entire book is full of love, hope, and spirit that only Quickie could cook up!
Interesting Saga
It was encouraging to read Mr. Driver's story. As the principal of an urban school, I deal with students who have similar childhood experiences to Mr. Driver's. It's inspiring to read how he made it. I would love to have him as a guest on my book talk radio show The Reading Circle with Marc Medley. Nice job Mr. Driver. Best to you and your family.
Inspirational how hard work and perseverance can overcome
Thoroughly enjoyed Donald's life story and his honesty over some of the poor choices he made growing up and his feelings when he was drafted low down in the picks. His tenacity to keep going and work harder with a smile on his face yo achieve his goals and his love for his wife was infectious. Any Packer nation fan will love this book, but also very relevant for any football fan and also those who need a see a true story of when life gives you lemons you can make lemonade if you surround your self with family that loves you and managers and team who respect your hard work ethic.
Good, not great.
Certainly an interesting story but you could tell Donald wrote it himself instead of dictating it to a professional writer. I finished it in a few days and enjoyed it, but it read a little choppy and didn't have the smooth flow of a professional. I was also hoping (but not really expecting) to hear some real locker room dirt but, sadly, Driver is too much of a class act. All in all, not bad but not great either.
Great story
Already thought I knew everything about DD so I thought the book wouldn't be that interesting. Donald told his story with candor. He was honest about not so good choices he made. He gave credit to those who raised him, make good decisions or helped him in his career. Something you don't see too many athletes do. They think they are god but Donald frequently thanks and gives God the glory for his wife, kids, talent and career. Well written and an easy read.
Love the DD
Quick read. Donald is an amazing man. Both my husband and I read it in under two days. You can't put it down!
Driven is exceptional
I am almost through "Driven" and it has been an exceptional book. The highs and lows that Donald Driver has experienced in his life make him a true hero. It is a must read for any Packer fan or anyone who doesn't think it's possible to overcome hardship. Donald has made a touchdown with his memoir.
Book shows what can happen when new roads are taken ...
Book shows what can happen when new roads are taken. Donald driver went from taking care of himself to taking care of others.
amazing!!
i loved this book from begining to end. Perfect for any Packer fan. Donald is a class act and an all around wonderful husband and father
Donald is Driven!
The book was an easy read. Donald's time before football was awe inspiring! He pulled himself out of a life of poverty and crime to greater good.
love this book! a
It only took me 2days to read this book. I just couldn't put it down. To know how Donald Drivers life was like as a kid and to over come so much is inspiring. Love this book and LOVE Donald Drive!!
Five Stars
Oh I love my Driven book by Donald Driver one of the best there is
Amazing. Donald you make me proud to be a Packer Fan!
What an amazing story, life can be complicated and test everything as it moves along. Donald mastered it and went from the streets to NFL! Wow...
Five Stars

Excellent Book
Take the time to read. Donald Driver is a class act man and he has written a class act book.
An insiring book about a great Green Bay Packer who is a wonderful man
I had bought the hard copy when it first came out and enjoyed reading it. (I am a great fan of Donald Driver!) I must have loaned it to someone who did not return it as I could not find it anywhere when my 13 year old granddaughter asked me if I still had it. Her class is doing biographies at the present time and that's who she wanted to do hers on. Thus, I ordered the paperback copy of it on Amazon and she had it in two days. She shared her oral report of the book that she needs to present to her class and I was quite impressed with all that she learned about Donald Driver's life and what he had overcome to be the wonderful man he is today. It is a great book and both my granddaughter and I would recommend it to others.
DD tells it Humbly and honestly
Pre-ordered 2 copies and was not disappointed. Driver tells all about his life growing up to his retirement with America's Team~The Green Bay Packers. What a wonderful down`to`earth man. Driver tells tales on and off the field which are at times quite funny. Very easy and enjoyable read. I plan to purchase more copies to give for x-mas gifts. The receiver's (lol) of this book will be entertained, enlightened, and inspired from page 1 to the very end. I hope Quickie contiunues to pen a few more books about his life, family, and perhaps a more in`depth account of his years playing as a Green Bay packer.
I really liked the book
Big DD fan, I really liked the book, so much so that I actually finished it off in a day. First time for everything. Feel like the font and spacing is larger than most to make the book thicker, that is my only knock. The story itself is pretty amazing, and it is good to see what a great person Donald has turned into coming from the background that he did. Things definitely could have turned out completely different for him. This is a good motivational book and a great read for any packer fan!
It's Donald - what is there to say!
Oh Donald. Every Packer fan who watched Donald's career will be delighted with his story. So refreshing to read the story of one of the good guys of sports, loyal to his team, no scandals, no greed for more money or the best offer out there. He is everything a sports hero should be, a man you actually want your kids to look up to. His story crosses team barriers, gives inspiration and hope to those who find themselves in unforgiving circumstances. Admittedly a Donald fan, but highly recommend this book.
A Loyal Legend
This book is inspiring. Donald tells his story with no holds barred. He takes us through his early life, where things didn't always go the way he wanted, all the way to his college years where he met the love of his life. As a Packer fan, I will always hold #80 near and dear, but his story can inspire others to strive to be the best. I keep a copy in my classroom for my students to read. It reminds them that not everyone comes from a perfect life, but they can make their own path through hard work and dedication.

whats's not to love about donald driver
Donald is a great football player, but not a skilled author
I'm a huge Packer fan and Donald Driver has always been one of my favorite players. When I saw there was a co-author, I assumed that person would have done most of the actual writing. However, the book certainly reads like Donald wrote every word himself. He is an incredible football player, but skilled writer he is not. It's a quick read, and an enjoyable read, but the writing is not exactly compelling. If you're a fan, buy the book. If you want something well-written, find something else.
I loved this book
I loved this book. It really brings you to a sence that even though he made it big it wasn't an easy ride. We all go through struggles it's how we handle them and over come them that matters
Brilliant memoir
Donald tells in his own words his rough upbringing and his rise to Packer favorite and I dare you not to cry. Beautiful. What a man!!
good book~
My husband thoroughly enjoyed the book..He had been thinking about buying it but ended up getting it for Christmas! Score!!
Five Stars
a gift
My hero
Amazing book written by an amazing man. After reading this book, you will come to the realization that our lives are not as bad as we sometimes portray them to be. I love you Donald and I have always had the utmost respect for you. You are an amazing man and I wish there were more people like you in the world.
Worth reading
Being an avid Packer fan, I had to read this! An extremely easy read, it chronicled snippets from Donald Driver's life. I thought the book was good although a bit boastful at times. Then again DD was an excellent football player! It's worth reading because it is an inspiring story.
LOVE THIS BOOK!
WONDERFUL BOOK. LOVE IT AND YOUR DELIVERY WAS SO FAST.

GREAT BOOK
This is a great book!! Very well written and Donald Driver opens up about his rough upbringing and really demonstrates how important the NFL was to him and how it changed his life. Very good read…very entertaining. Read it in just a a couple of days.
A must for every Packer fan!
I had heard that Donald had a hard childhood but I never realized just how bad it was. An inspiring story. Thanks for all you do to make children's lives better Donald!
Wow
It is extremely hard to believe that anyone who had a childhood such as Donald experienced can become the man he is today.
Great book, I couldn't put it down once I ...
Great book, I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. Even a very casual football fan would really enjoy this book.
Ah yes, I now understand that brilliant smile.
It is so interesting that you cannot put it down before you are finished. You can understand his life and choices.

Driver's book is awesome!

A great book by an awesome young man! Love Donald!
Must Read For Packers Fans
Awesome book about the life and times of one of the most revered Packers in history. Driver tells all. A must read for all Packer fans.
Donald Driver has something to say.
Wonderful and inspiring story. Purchased as a gift for my young adult son. We have ordered more copies for other relatives.
Donald rocks
This book is one of the best autobiographies I've read Donald told it like it was, from stealing, to drugs, to being homeless and still believing that God had a purpose for his life. I would recommend this book to everyone in PackerNation and anyone who could use some inspiration.

I still haven't read the book, but I have to love anything with Donald Driver!!!

Great inspirational story. Drive was never lost as he explains he may have swayed in his early years to drugs, he never gave up.
What is not to love
Thoroughly loved it. Took me two nights to read and am looking forward to re-reading. Very inspirational and Bertina is definately the best thing that happened to Donald.
Wonderfully written memoir
Great read, brought back my memories of growing up as a Packer fan during the Driver/Favre era. Highly recommended for all packers fans!
