@@envyhysteria are you a Gen AA? Mayfield was born in 95 so anyone who knows him or plays fantasy has to be GenX or younger. Boomers don't waste time on something that started after Gen X like fantasy football. Most of Gen X plays fantasy football.
@@MrRecapFromUA-cam I normally don't sit through ones this long. But this is a beautiful story and you made sure to get every important detail to really tell it all in this recap. Sitting here with a big smile on my face and eyes a bit watering from the ending, from a movie I'd never have thought to watch. Gonna go watch it now in full. So thanks for this recap. Showed me a new movie I can enjoy.
54 year old man here with tears in his eyes..this is truly a American dream with tragedy ending..my heart goes out to his family friends and team mates
I was born in Arkansas and still have some family left there. (most have died) I thought the movie captured the overall feel of Arkansas quite well; especially the religious aspect.
I’m from wales south wales UK and I’m in tears, what a mother, father friends, sometimes it’s not about the destination but the journey, this man was brought up right, God bless. He did have his happy ending, he got where he wanted to be, so sad, but he’s inspired so many people, and will go on doing so.
The sad ting is he would have been a 10 year starter in the NFL. He would have had a Super Bowl ring with Peyton Manning. He already had the starting spot there and worked at it, but sadly it was all taken away.
I’ve seen many of these movie recaps, this one caught me so fucking offguard. I had no idea about this story and I’m so glad I came across it. A truly tragic but amazing story at the same time. What a truly amazing human
Incredible storytelling! I was hooked from start to finish. Brandon’s transformation is not only about football but about proving that you can achieve anything with dedication.
I am a 51-year-old man who has a very passing interest in football. I watched this video with tears of faith and tears of sadness. I was not expecting this. I never knew this story and am glad I learned of it. God is good!
I was 16 when I went to that Arkansas / Tennessee game and I had no clue about his backstory. I was just pissed that my girlfriend couldn't attend the game with me because she fell asleep driving home from our Friday night high school football game. She wound up driving through a retirement community's mini-golf course and luckily wasn't too shaken up, but wasn't up for the football game the next day. To make things even more fun, my family lived in Arkansas before moving up to Tennessee, and my sister was in the UT band but still dated a dude from Arkansas (that I had to sit with). He was so drunk that he was pulling down his pants to show all the UT fans his Sunday best Hogs briefs when the stumble fumble happened. Almost 30 years later I learn about this side of the story and it really puts my minor inconveniences that day into perspective. Wish I could have seen him play with Peyton during his Colts days.
This movie crushed me. I can't ever stand the ending. It's an inspirational movie, and the story of Burlsworth is more than worthy of it. But the true ending can break anyone.
He was drafted to protect Peyton Manning. The movie glosses over a few things, like he was athletic as hell for an offensive lineman. Brandon, at 290, could run a 4.8. He also had incredible agility. They still have a saying at Arkansas, so things the burlsworth way.
It's awesome seeing all the kids at their first Razorback game for the first time. Every home game they have their own special section and get a featured shout out on the video screen and a announcement. The announcer ends it with "The Burls kids.. Doing it, the Burls way."
Marty was Brandon’s big brother but more of a father figure because the father suffered from alcohol abuse & Brandon wanted to become a professional college athlete and his mother took out a second mortgage to get him his shot… He became a walk on and nobody really took to him at first… The coach noticed Brandon’s paperwork really hadn’t any information on his father so the coach eased up but still demanded that Brandon show up and become a training dummy… Brandon start showing up the upperclassman and that was all they needed to see… Sad way he died knowing he was always afraid of “18 wheelers” 🤦🏽♂️
Moved to the States for higher studies and started watching Football. A friend recommended this movie. Got goosebumps throughout the movie. But the ending just shattered me completely! Was not prepared for that devastating climax. Life could be so unfair. RIP brother! You would never be forgotten. Men today are willing to walk over others in order to win. While you were willing to die for your dreams! ❤❤
I don't know why, but i needed this, i needed to hear Brandon's story, I'm dealing with cigarettes and smoking addiction and i hope this story helps me push through it.
I have had an addiction to psychics. To pay someone to tell me good stories about my future. I was cured after I invested a ridiculous amount of money into something I was going to get rich from - according to the psychics. I lost all the money and am cured from my addiction. Almost. I keep calling someone else.
Burlsworth is a legend in Fayetteville....Hog fans will always love him😊..its the SEC Rudy but not the happy ending. Houston was ok for us at first but fell back into Broyles playback of ground and pound which took us only so far before the sec crushed us....we got to a top 10 ranking with Petrino but lost him because nonsense...but we have Petrino back now...Hogs coming
1998 was so close to being a magical season. Imagine if steoner doesn't trip and the refs don't give MS State a field goal they obviously missed. It's an undefeated regular season. I recently saw a list of the top 10 heartbreaking Arkansas losses and that TN game only made it to number 10. That itself shows how hard it is to be an Arkansas fan
I remember this story well. I was a Cornhusker fan (Yes, I live in Texas) but knew of the guard Brandon from watching NCAA Football. It's a sad and tragic story, but he left the world being an inspiration for many.
I see so much of myself in his story. Truly touching. I am shedding tears i have many of my former players that understand his plight no one wanted to give us a chance and we took it with the power of the most high. None of us were stars but we wanted to bring our teams pride. Truly an amazing story. One that deserved to be told
As an Arkansan, my pride in this young man swells. All I can pray is some of this current generation feels his life’s energy and try to be like him. And not just in football. God may have taken him home but the value of his life is huge and insurmountable. Love to his brother, Marty and his Mom.
me thinking its a random everyday football movie...getting to the end being shocked that he dies...then finidng out its a true story... i swear thse arent tears in my eyes...i just have a wet face
I am crying like a little baby!! God needed his Angel back that is why he took him so young!! I pray for the family and his teammates!! They where all blessed to have him in their lives!!! RIP YOUNG GOOD SIR MAY YOU BE WITH JESUS!!!!🙏🏾 up!!!!!!!!
A movie that uses a pillow to make someone look fat, and getting a 50yr old to play a late 20's early 30s, you know your in for a treat. The kid fat keeps moving around his body, and his weight look always changes. Lol, using a wheel barrow to carry a roll of fencing, cyclone fence a.k.a chainlink fence.
The movie is called “Greater.” It’s a “low budget” movie…but does a great job of still getting the point across that Brandon was a special young man who worked harder than anyone else to become great. Truly a tragic story…and us Arkansas fans will never forget him.
I thought this was going to be a fictional movie, not based on a true story 😭 His consistent hard work and ability to not deter from his goal was so inspiring
Mothers who lies to their kids is why we need fathers around. If your kid is fat, tell them and help them change it. I have NEVER met a fat person who dident want to be slim, so why let your kids grow up fat ??
As a scotsman following the Vikes since 2004, I never knew this story. Only recently started watching college football. The ending hit me hard was not expecting it. Guy went through more adversity than 99% of us and came through the other end to reach his dream. Not a religious person but what a story and life he led in a short time. R.I.P ❤
Even in death God continues to use him. These are the hardest deaths to accept, due to him just starting an amazing, life and career, having a "bright future".
This looks like it was recorded on a phone. I really want to watch this. This looks legit and I'm surprised I don't know who this man is especially since my team is Mississippi State. R.I.P. King Brandon. You have my respect and your family my condolences
I wish I knew this didn't have a happy ending before I started watching. This is heartbreaking.
fr, just cut the video 2 mins early lol
Dude freaken same
So ill just stick with the recap
Wow. Thanks. Was just gonna search it. I will just watch the recap then.
The kid overcame so much and to die that way... shame.

Honestly all the “fat kids” I knew growing up turned out to be the tallest and strongest guys I know.
Lmfao i was fat af growing up , stopped growing at 5’9 but im built like an absolute brick shit house now. We either grow tall or wide😂
@@BrooklynRedneck16. Stuck at 5’9 for now. Hope I’m taller, but I am a tubby boy 😂!. Also hey from Mississippi!!!

i was 6'4 growing up and fat, now im 29 and still fat :( i wish i had the motivation
Yep. My youngest son was teased at school for being a fat kid. Today, at 21, he's 220 of solid muscle.
For the first time a recap mad me emotional...Good narration bro keep up
i'm pretty sure this is an AI voice reading a script generated by chat gpt. Thinking about it... maybe your account is also AI
it's definitely AI
Absolutely wholesome, wonderful and beautiful. Hard work, faith, dedication and kindness. Gone but not forgotten.

This recap hits differently, NO CAP. TY
This recap made me cry
I no joke watched for one second and then decided I’d watch the full movie. It genuinely moved me it’s beautiful
This was a brutal one at the end. I forgot the tragic parts of this story.
Made me cry too
It was hard to nut through the tears.
same, i watched a recap after a longg while and was not disappointed
That sweet lady is a poster mom. A kind, Christian mom who raised 2 stand up gentlemen. Hats off to his mother. 🎉
The Burlsworths are a great family. Marty's kids are so humble when you ask them about their uncle.

Nope, respect is given and can be taken. Attention and trust are earned

Can you tell me the name of the movie plz

The movie name
@@AndresPerez-j2s i already answered that. It's called greater. Why are you asking me?
I can’t believe, as a huge football fan pushing 40, I’ve never heard of this guy.
The movie this video summed up is "greater"
If you were an Arkansas fan you would have known who he was. He was already a legend at Arkansas before he died.
He was drafted to protect Peyton Manning. The movie glosses over a few things, like he was athletic as hell for an offensive lineman. Brandon, at 290, could run a 4.8. He also had incredible agility. They still have a saying at Arkansas, so things the burlsworth way.
There is an award now named after him for the best walk on in college football
Because a lot of movies are faked like the blindside. Was my favorite movie until I found out it was all a lie
Bro u got to love this man best person I ever watched
It's awesome seeing all the kids at their first Razorback game for the first time. Every home game they have their own special section and get a featured shout out on the video screen and a announcement. The announcer ends it with "The Burls kids.. Doing it, the Burls way."
