The NFL didn't give me a highlight reel. It gave me a journal. This isn't a memoir written years later — cleaned up, restructured, and turned into a highlight reel. These are the actual journal entries. Written in real time. Inside the building. Between practices, after games, and during the hardest conversations no one else hears.

Nate Jackson’s Slow Getting Up is an unvarnished and uncensored memoir of everyday life in the most popular sports league in America - and the most damaging to its players - the National Football League. After playing college ball at a tiny Division III school, Jackson, a receiver, signed as a free agent with the San Francisco 49ers, before moving to the Denver Broncos. For six seasons in the NFL as a Bronco, he alternated between the practice squad and the active roster, eventually winning a starting spot - a short, tenuous career emblematic of the average pro player.
