The Blind Side meets Hoop Dreams in this epic tale of six young football players in their quest to join the most elite club in professional sports: the NFL.
Shot over six years, 4th & Goal tells the stories of DeQawn, Albert, Gibril, Tim, Randy, and Bret, all standouts at a respected junior college football program. Each of the young men are recruited for top Division 1 college scholarships. As they fan out across the country to the nation’s best college football teams, each carries with him the belief that he will be one of the chosen few who will someday be a “Sunday Player” in the NFL.
What their experience reveals is the true fate of millions of young football players: only about 1700 players can play in the NFL, and the cut-throat competition – physical, intellectual, and emotional – is what distinguishes one man’s success from another man’s failure.
As our young men reach the end of their college careers the draft and recruitment process heats up. Pro-Day, Draft- Day, Training Camp – they are all steps towards that moment that every football player dreams of. But only one will achieve his ultimate dream – to win a Super Bowl.
