(S9) - PT 4 - Movie Pitch

[Titan127]

The movie would have to start in childhood, with a short clip showing Skinner's first time watching football at five years old, he was watching the Tennessee Volunteers' Kevin Burnett, a linebacker, and said, "He's pretty good."

Well, he tried being a linebacker for awhile, but soon realized that it wasn't the spot for him, and this would be an early arc of the movie, Skinner's transition to playing on the edge, even if he was the best player on the team at linebacker, he knew what his spot, and by the time he was playing in middle school college scouts were showing up to the occasional game.

Of course, in high school, he really exploded, pulling away from the competition and beating everyone that was thrown in front of him with speed, with power, or really, any way that he wanted to. Eventually, he earned a good number of division one scholarships, but there was never a question in his mind as to where he wanted to play, committing to the University of Tennessee in his junior year of high school.

Later, we would see his short, but productive collegiate career, followed by the personal issues that kept him from being drafted in the DSFL, and, finally, his notification that the Portland Pythons were picking him up on waivers.
