Book excerpt: You Can Catch Sunshine is the astonishing true story of Jets wide receiver Don Maynard, a laid-back speedster from a dusty corner of Texas whose unlikely friendship with a brash, young quarterback named Joe Namath resulted in the most unlikely upset in football history: Super Bowl III. A cotton ginner's son whose gentle and understated demeanor made him one of the most unlikely rebels of the 1960s. Maynard was a ninth-round draft choice from a tiny mining school in El Paso, Texas, whose rookie status made him a most unlikely candidate to be the first player to touch the ball in the 1958 Championship game between the Colts and Giants.
