VINCE PAPALE

In 1976, Vince Papale was working as a school teacher and a part-time bartender. Philadelphia Eagles' then -rookie head coach Dick Vermeil held a press conference and invited some locals, including Vince, who was a former track star, to a workout. The rest is history. Vince showed up at the workout and ran a 4.5 40-yard dash, a world-class time! Coach Vermeil offered Vince a contract on the spot, but this 30-year-old walk-on still had to make the team. Vince overcame tremendous odds to become the oldest rookie in the history of the NFL. He eventually became a team captain and played in the NFL for four years. He was voted Man of the Year by the Eagles in 1978 for his many charitable activities. His story was the inspiration for the movie "INVINCIBLE" and continues to inspire everyone who hears his motivational speeches.

Vince's inspirational journey from humble working class beginnings and troubled home life, to

successful professional athlete and businessman is a story that audiences of all demographics

will relate to. His story is the subject of not only the major motion picture from Disney, but a book too.
