Brandon Burlsworth is perhaps the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. Brandon had always dreamed of playing for the Arkansas Razorbacks, but was considered too short and too fat to play Division I. Undeterred, Brandon took a big risk and walked on in 1994. Written off by fellow teammates and coaches, Brandon displayed dogged determination in the face of staggering odds. An extremely devoted Christian, Brandon never cursed or drank. He was genuinely humble and low-key. He worked harder than anybody, on and off the field, becoming the first Razorback to earn a Bachelor's and Master's degree while still playing. The overly-fat kid who was once an embarrassment to his teammates and an annoyance to his coaches, ended up becoming the most respected player in the history of the program, changing the lives of all he touched.

I think it's funny how they use our football field for the movie title😂 - @Saturday, October 15, 2016 5:34 AM

Wait a minute, he's fat and he plays football? How is that possible? I admit I know very little about football, but when I went to high school it was very clearly that sports where for jocks and fat people play chess, join the AV club, or the drama department. The same goes for college, if you're fat, you don't play sports, period. - @Friday, September 16, 2016 6:57 PM

I finally got to see this movie yesterday, and it's really good. I've always thought he deserves his own movie, and I think this one does him justice. I'm an Arkansan, and I can tell you that Brandon Burlsworth is an absolute legend in this state. It's about time his name became known elsewhere. - @Monday, September 12, 2016 1:52 AM
