Meet the Author

Brian Milne is a former CNPA and Associated Press-award winning Senior Sportswriter and Editor for McClatchy and Knight Ridder newspapers. He covered college football and other sports for more than a decade, following in the footsteps of his late grandfather and former longtime Los Angeles Times sportswriter Dan Hafner.

Milne has covered kickers at every level, from middle school to college, the now defunct XFL to the NFL, and he is excited to share their stories of redemption – going from scapegoats to CEOs, undrafted nonames to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
