The NFL star whose life inspired the book and movie ``The Blind Side'' is now telling his own story.

Gotham Books announced Monday that Michael Oher's ``I Beat the Odds'' will be published in February 2011.

Oher rose from poverty in Memphis, Tenn., to fame as an offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens. His story became a best-selling book by Michael Lewis and a popular movie starring Sandra Bullock as Leigh Anne Tuohy, Oher's foster mother.

Tuohy and her husband, Sean, also are working on a memoir, due this summer.
