This movie is phenomenal. Despite sadly passing away so young, he still lives on. Charities, awards and others have been named in his honor. His award is arguably the best just behind the Heisman. Those to win the Burlesworth Trophy include: Baker Mayfield, Luke Falk, Stetson Bennett, and JJ Watt

I believe you are mistaken by saying ''His award is arguably the best just behind the Heisman''. those that win the Heisman, use the talent they have to win it, the BURLSWORTH is won by those that have the guts nerve wherewithal to achieve the near impossible with out all that natural talent, scholarships, and a team begging for them to ''come play for us''

ITS NOT REAL

Brandon is an inspiration to all of us. He went from walk-on, to All American. He never quit. Now, there is a national trophy after his name, and an organization called Burls kids. Where less fortunate kids get into the games for free. He will never be forgotten at the university of Arkansas.

We ask why bad things happen to good people, no one ever has an answer. But the truth is, no good person was ever good without the bad.

I’ve been fat my entire life. Since elementary school, always being called the fat kid or getting dissed by girls for being fat and just made fun of. I had friends and good friends at that. Everyone knew me but they also knew me as the kid who’s always been fat. Well I started my journey to lose this weight & become healthy. After 25 years of being on this planet. It’s time I made this change. & as corny as this sounds this movie inspired me to do so. I may not join the NFL but at least I’ll live a longer life than what I was going too. Thank you Brandon 💯

A truly inspirational story. Brandon definitely deserves to have the Burlsworth award named after him.

That man was the epitome of everything a true believer should strive for each day.

What a great movie 💯 💯 The interesting fact about this movie is that it's based on the true story of Brandon Burlsworth, a college football player who walked on to the University of Arkansas football team and eventually became an All-American offensive lineman. Tragically, Burlsworth's life was cut short when he died in a car accident just days after being drafted into the NFL.

As a hog fan I loved this movie he was and has been a source of inspiration for a lot of players and he deserves to recognized as as one of the greatest college football players ever not based on skill but of his heart and will to keep fighting for what u want no matter what he is what every hog fan wants in a player and a person and he will always be remembered RIP Brandon and thanks for everything u gave us

this is such a great move i saw it brandon burlsworth really busted his butt to get what he wanted it's sad that once he got it he couldn't live long enough to enjoy it drafted by the colts in the first round it's such a sad ending to a great story.

This was an amazing story, one of the saddest endings, I wonder if Arkansas still has that locker in locker room

Touching and inspirational

Great movie based on a great story.

I was BIG and SHORT. Moved like a snail, but HUGE endurance. Working summer construction jobs I could out-work ANY of the jocks. SO, I turned my endurance into an electronics career, where I could work 2 shifts and through study and perseverance, I was promotion to full engineer at General Telephone by age 20. STILL, the weight was my constant, unwelcome partner. When after 46 years a well-paid “fat man”, specializing in Super Computers, I retired. Oddly my weight started to fall. Without dieting, I’ve dropped from 330 to 250 in a few years. Each month, I expect another pound to “retire too”. I’m a month short of my 75 birthday, a grandfather active in his grandchildren’s lives, etc. Anybody FAT? Don’t give up. Show the world you have exceptional value!

This is actually a true story. A collegiet athletic award and trophy for outstanding excellence in the sport of football for walk-ons was postumously named after him. The trophy is sculpted in his likeness. The sport of football is one of honor and respect.
