The Blind Side Book

"The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game" is a book written by Michael Lewis and released in 2006 about American football. It features two dominant story lines. The first one is an examination of how offensive football strategy has evolved over the past three decades in large part due to Lawrence Taylor's arrival in the 1980s and how this evolution has placed an increased importance on the role of the left tackle.

The second storyline features Michael Oher, the former left tackle for the Ole Miss football team, who later became the left tackle for the Baltimore Ravens.
