Timothy John Green, born in Liverpool, New York, is a former professional American football player, radio and television personality, and best-selling author. He was a linebacker and defensive end with the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League for eight seasons, a commentator for National Public Radio, and the former host of the 2005 revival of A Current Affair produced by 20th Television. In November 2018, Green announced that he was diagnosed with ALS.
Since his retirement from football in 1993, Green has written nearly 40 novels ranging from adult suspense to youth sports. His youth sports series in particular would become his best selling works as an author, with many of his works reaching The New York Times best-seller list of children's chapter books. As an attorney, Green has been counsel with a law firm in New York State since February 1999. In May 2014, Green partnered with a former Assistant District Attorney to form a firm composed of former prosecutors who now work privately and offer criminal defense services.
