Fox Sports Net's documentary series Beyond The Glory on Sunday, April 13 at 8 p.m. local time delves into the turbulent career of New York Jets quarterback Vinny Testaverde. His storied football career has been a series of ups and downs, his failures often overshadowing his accomplishments. And while the native New Yorker has scaled some of football's greatest heights, his road to success hasn't been an easy one. Football was a family affair with the Testaverdes. From day one, Vinny's father Al dreamed that his only son would play the game. With a rifle for an arm and a fierce desire to win, Vinny proved himself worthy of a scholarship to Miami.

Life has always seemed to be a struggle for two-time Super Bowl champion running back Terrell Davis. From a rough and tough upbringing to a college career that was far from smooth and successful. So when he made it to the top as a running back with the Denver Broncos, there seemed to be nothing that could slow him down or force him to walk away.
Born in San Diego, Davis had the physique to play football even at a young age. However, his first setback came when he suffered a dislocated shoulder midway into his senior season at Lincoln High School, making him virtually invisible to college recruiters from major programs. He accepted a scholarship from Long Beach State in Southern California, but he did so as much to further his education as his football career.
