(S9) - PT 4 - Movie Pitch

[manicmav36]

Owen Taylor hasn’t exactly had what most people would call an exciting life. In fact, outside of football, he’s had a pretty boring and “normal” life (except for that one time he was arrested for punching a man in Target for stealing his daughter’s Tickle Me Elmo…. But we don’t talk about that). When you look at his life on the football field though, things really start to get interesting, and might actually make for an ok movie.
Coming out of high school he was just a 3-star recruit, but worked he his ass off in the weight room and was named All Big 10 twice at defensive end for the University of Nebraska. Despite his success in college, he wasn’t a very highly touted prospect and was selected in the third round. His second season in the NSFL he was named to his first Pro Bowl, but then things took a turn. He was approached by the Hawks GM about making a move to running back, and Taylor Jumped at the opportunity to try something he hadn’t done since high school. Taylor went on an epic tear following the position switch, being named Breakout Player of the Year in S3, RB of the Year a record 4 consecutive seasons, and led the league in rushing yards in each of those seasons. He currently sits at second overall in rushing yards behind legend Reg Mackworthy.
