A fat boy who is often bullied at school manages to prove himself to be a world star

That chubby little kid did it. The mom was just amazing. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

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.

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’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 💯

His mother n brother are true unsung heros... god bless them

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

This is the most convincing text-to-speech I've ever heard. The inconsistent pronunciation of Arkansas sold it though.

I salute this man. There are many others so I say this, sometimes, the shorter the flame, the brighter it burns. Though it is truly a pity. With what he achieved at that age, who knows how much more he could have done.

The amount of different ways you manage to say Arkansas in 1 video is actually impressive.......

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

Hes a legend, and worked so hard to get to where he was, a true inspiration

He was a very decent and inspirational guy.

honestly im so heart brocken, as if it has just happened today..😭😭he was a legend

One of the most inspiring and saddest real life stories you will ever hear. May he rest in the arms of the Lord forever.

Right now, I have tears in my eyes 💙 what a inspiration he was and he will be

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.

That was cool of his mom to loan the bank money like that. Some people would judge a bank based on its construction rather than what's inside

great story. RIP a true inspiration

Great movie, excellent message. I love movies like this.

Beautiful story thanks
