Who are they when the game is over?

For the 2020 NFL season, Nike Football wanted to go past the everyday sports anthem and athlete documentary and show the human beneath the helmet. We made seven films about seven players, shot entirely during COVID, each inspired by the athlete, their city and their community, and each ending on the charitable work they’re doing at home. I was writer and story producer.

The five here are Travis Kelce, Saquon Barkley, Odell Beckham Jr., Derrick Henry and Josh Jacobs, each told through the place that made them and the kids coming up behind them.

These are Nike’s own uploads. The other two films in the series are no longer online.
