About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like fast, headline-driven sports docs about fame and consequences, similar to Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn't Exist; not for you if you want a fully comprehensive, hard-hitting account with every chapter covered.
Pros: entertaining rise-and-fall story; candid interviews; strong college football context | Cons: feels rushed late; missing key career chapters; uneven, possibly sugar-coated
