“If you really are a true NFL fan and love the game, you will really enjoy reading about the different personalities that helped develop the tremendous fan base that exists today. Within this book, there are eleven different coaches I personally coached against during my career and twenty-nine different players that lined up and played against my teams! Only three players you are going to read about played on a team I coached—David ‘Deacon’ Jones, Morten Andersen, and Jared Allen. All unique complex personalities with Hall of Fame talent and a pleasure to really get to know! I believe you will enjoy getting to know these people as I did when you read Bob Angelo’s The NFL Off-Camera. Enjoy!”—Coach Dick Vermeil, Pro Football Hall of Fame 2022
“If you love football and storytelling, this book is for you. Bob Angelo was a brilliant cinematographer and producer for NFL Films, which gave him first-hand, inside access to the game for forty-three years. The NFL Off-Camera regales us with his unvarnished insights into, and recollections about, the most memorable figures in pro football history—stories you’ve never heard before and couldn’t hear from anyone else.”—Andrea Kremer, Pro Football Hall of Fame journalist
“No one told NFL stories as a writer, cameraman, and director better than Bob Angelo. The way he documented the history of the NFL and its players, revealing each player’s personality, whether mine, my brother’s, or any of our teammates’, makes him special. While profiling the 2001 Baltimore Ravens, Bob provided a glimpse of what training camp life was like for rookies and veteran players like myself, Goose [Tony Siragusa], Ray Lewis, and Rod Woodson, while allowing our personalities to shine through on Hard Knocks.”—Shannon Sharpe, NFL Hall of Fame tight end and cohost of Skip and Shannon: Undisputed
