ESPN NFL Analyst Bill Polian on The Brandon Burlsworth Story - 8/26/16

[@kingkocher]

This movie is NOT getting enough coverage, Neither is the story.

[@honeydip4335]

kingkocher right ! I’m just now hearing about it today through KZbin

[@domanickmiller2641]

Honestly he would of been a white version of Larry Allen

[@MikeMusicandMotivation]

I fully agree it's on Netflix now though

[@jsm530]

Because he's a white Christian straight male. That's why. We are the villains which I embrace I guess since he was as honorable as they get.

[@mikebryant7087]

Y'all are not villains 😂😂😂

[@hogmango3560]

Greatest walk on in the history of college football. From nobody to All American!!

1 of if not the best sports Movie I've ever watched

[@joshuasweeney7864]

Copblock312 pulled me in so many directions emotionally, would hook me in with the flashbacks, and then would crush me when it would cut back to reality

[@altops4490]

I weep every time I think on his life. He's like an angel took time off to show us how to live. And his brief life yielded such emence fruit and never-ending inspiration for anyone to follow and apply.

[@tomflake6141]

As a college and pro football fan, I am disapointed in myself for not knowing who this young man was. My previous fav sports movie was "The Natural". Now it's "Greater".

[@jgiza8888]

Feel the same, except my favorite sports movie was Brian Song and now it's "Greater".

[@fobbitoperator3620]

Yeah, I feel stupid also, as I am an avid football/sports fan & athlete, yet am just now hearing about this young man's tragic early death. R.I.P. young fella. The Lord has a plan for you, & you have NOT disappointed!

[@romaion4024]

"Brandon in death, certainly in the state of Arkansas and I think around America, because of this film, will have made more of an impact, than he might have in life" - Bill Polian

[@frankierodriguez4132]

And Brandon would be ok with that....what a great young man...the world is less

[@MatthewKonvict]

Always rewatch his stuff I never got to see him play but he’s what I feel is the heart an soul of what makes college football so great.

You can hear the pain in Mr.Polian’s voice

[@zachb9965]

i can describe him in two words "football hero"

[@lucasmartin8036]

Zach B you knew him?

[@juuon1760]

Zach B or Have Faith

[@theBIGBLUTO]

I just watched this last night, after being a huge fan of sports & inspiring stories like this I'm quite embarrassed for not knowing about this while it happened. I couldn't agree more with Mr Polian that if Brandon lived he would've been just another offensive lineman & would've just washed through our consciousness like most of the others . Sometimes in life, death & loss is a stark reminder that we must give it our all everyday because it can all end in a split second !!

[@CHAARAWTAZA144]

"Greater" was the greatest !

[@Alphasports576]

Yes I miss him and I'm an lsu fan

[@badgeneration2007]

He was headed home to take his mom to church. I think about how excited his mother must have been to show off her son to her friends and how proud Brandon must have been. Just kicked off a very exciting season in his life and then tragedy struck. As heartbreaking as it is, it does put things in perspective. Sports, money and fame are meaningless in the long run. Knowing christ and having a relationship with our creator is all that matters. I'm thankful God used this man's platform as a way to speak to his children. Rest easy big fella.

[@tonywalker39]

Amen

[@anthonyray773]

Amen. His Faith got him through a lot in his life. God came first.

[@randomstuff508]

Yeah, such a shame that God decided to kill him.

[@anthonyray773]

God did not kill him. He crossed over the double yellow line and hit a semi. Its a sham he was such a good man. Now he's in heaven playing for God's team, walking the streets of gold.

[@dannyech5452]

Very well said brother!! When I saw a preview of this movie and I saw how it ended I couldn’t stop crying!! For a minute I was mad that this wonderful Christian was taken so soon, but God will is perfect, so I just prayed for him, his family and teammates!! 🙏🏾 up RIP good sir!!!

[@TheBlocker73]

great movie just saw it today very sad but inspirational.

[@HPVP77]

Awesome account of a great young man who against all odds, against what everyone said to him that he couldn't do it.....HE DID IT!!!!!!!! A young man of faith who walked in integrity and honesty....IN EVERYTHING!!!! He did more, and left so much of an impact more than most people. Loved the movie, which is very appropriately named......GREATER!

[@leo29hornsfan]

Nobody gave this kid a shot in hell to make the team. Not only did he make the team, but he became a starter, and a first team all American at his position and was drafted into the NFL.

[@madqtofficial3451]

I haven't seen the movie yet but the story itself is so inspiring and this is the BEST walk-on in American football history

[@MagikFingers420]

Thats a big statement

[@thomaskelly8571]

If you have not seen the movie yet , Greater , do yourself a favor and do so. Quite a story....Quite a young man.

[@blake7871]

Wow, I've never heard of this movie and know very little about Burlsworth. Definitely going to watch this film.

[@davidramey7686]

What an amazing sad story. So inspirational. It motivates be to be the best I can be to honor his death. Thanks Brandon, you are one of my hero’s.

[@chrism.4600]

Im surprised a bigger major motion movie company didn’t pick up this movie, Yes a movie was made, being Im just know hearing about it, Tells me it didn’t get that much promotion, this story and movie definitely needs more coverage and promotion. RIP Brandan Burlsworth #77 (#66 With The Colts)

[@JustTheFlecks]

Studios don’t make big budget movies where a straight, white, Christian male is the protagonist. Add to that he’s a jock - in Hollywood jock = bully.

[@castroeulis5635]

Im glad they all turned their noses up because they said the family would have no say in the movie. It eventually got produced by a native Arkansan who was devoted to get the movie made right. It took them 9 years to get the movie made. This is not only the best sports movie but to me its the best movie”.”!

[@VintageTruthTV]

Had a great time when I interviewed Bill in Indianapolis for Brandon's official biography. Very gracias man.

[@jgiza8888]

After seeing the move a couple of days ago, I now ask myself "What would Brandon do?" when facing obstacles.

[@Swaggy2Shoess]

When ever im feeling down about my brothers death i watch greater

[@RiZeConn]

Sorry to hear that man.

[@PatrickClarkUW86]

Sorry for your loss....

[@briankeith1147]

Just watched the movie. Touching. Inspirational. Well-acted. Solid, start to finish.

[@spaceracer23]

As a kid growing up in Arkansas, this story still hurts all these years later.

[@Swaggy2Shoess]

This is definitely the sngle best football movie ive ever seen like if u agree

[@jkornfeld]

Such a great movie!

[@jeff_r517]

Just saw the movie. Brandon was more of a blessing in his short life than most people who live to old age.

[@lancel71]

I just saw "Greater" today for the first time and I cried my eyes out and I'm a grown man! Brandon was to good for this world. Btw, I'm from Arkansas, born and bred.

He wasn't driving home from the boot camp. He was driving home after a workout in Fayetteville. Brandon was one of the finest young men I have ever known.

THE MOVIE WAS DEFINITELY 2ND RATE BUT THEY WERE PROBABLY STRAPPED WITH A LOW BUDGET..OR IT SEEMED THAT WAY .... BUT IT'S THE STORY THAT COUNTS....IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH BIGGER HIT IF THE ACTING AND OVERALL PRODUCTION WERE BETTER YES..BUT IT WAS A MOVING STORY

[@marcussp83]

I agree Daniel. I’ll say this... it was an incredible story about an incredible person, but the movie was horribly put together. The acting was hard to watch. Very cheesy lines made it feel like a B movie. I’m guessing they had a limited budget which explains the poor acting. Disappointing, because they could have done soo much better with this inspiring story.
