Greater is a 2016 American biographical sports film directed by David Hunt and starring Christopher Severio as American football player Brandon Burlsworth, a walk-on college player who became an All-American, dying in a car crash 11 days after being drafted high in the 3rd round to the National Football League.

The sight of him is not lost on other players such as Nathan Ward, Anthony Lucas, nor Grant Garrett – the latter of whom is assigned as Brandon's roommate – and they make fun of him relentlessly.

But with hard work, Brandon sheds fat and puts on muscle, eventually proving himself on the field and turning around everyone's opinion of him.

By his sophomore season, Arkansas head coach Danny Ford gives him a scholarship, and Brandon earns a starting position at right guard on the offensive line.

[5] Some critics categorized the film as primarily a faith-based movie rather than a sports movie, with Nick Schager of Variety magazine describing it as: "An insistent, clunky sermon about triumph through faith, David Hunt's film is so determined to turn its subject into a Christ-like saint that it loses any sense of him as an actual flesh-and-blood man, the result being a third-string sports saga only apt to play to its devout target audience.
