    What a sad documentary. The exploitation, shadiness and manipulation this kid had to deal with from coaches, recruiters, press, family and friends. He seems like a real genuine guy

    Great show, also I liked the start of the film where they showed him working where he works now! Sad how a country boy was taken advantage of!

    Very good documentary. Sad to see how the expectations consumed him and how bad advice from one man at an ideal time destroyed this mans career. He does seem to have moved on and almost embraces his past in a positive way. I didn't see much bitterness, if any at all. Happy ending?

    He rushed for 250 yards/70 carries over his two years (1990/91). In 1992 Cleveland Gary was the Rams starting running back and he ran for 1200 yards that year, followed by 300 yards in 1993 and 7 yards in 1994. Jerome Bettis was the starting RB for the Rams in 1993/94 and ran for 2500 yards, then he went to Pit.

    I can't think of anyone with a similar story in any sport given just how talented he was.

    What a great documentary.

    You could tell Barry Switzer was genuinely miffed by the whole situation and wishes that he had handled it differently.

    All the guys that said "he played for his brother who had CP" were right, as evidenced by his emotion at the end.
