| Synopsis
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.
