An underrated 2014 football film starring Kevin Costner as a Browns GM and Chadwick Boseman, titled Draft Day, is now streaming for free, spotlighting high-stakes NFL draft drama amid personal turmoil. (148 characters)
Draft Day (2014) follows Cleveland Browns general manager Sonny Weaver Jr., played by Kevin Costner, on the tense day of the NFL Draft. He navigates trades and tough choices to rebuild the team, facing pressure from the owner to "make a splash." Chadwick Boseman stars as linebacker Vonte Mack, a key prospect in Sonny's strategy.
Sonny trades up for the top pick but uncovers red flags about star quarterback Bo Callahan, like his teammates skipping his 21st birthday party. Opting instead for Mack, he maneuvers last-minute deals to also land running back Ray Jennings and others. The story blends professional gambles with personal issues, including his pregnant girlfriend Ali Parker (Jennifer Garner).
The movie, often called underrated, is currently free to watch. A full version appears on YouTube via Lionsgate, featuring Costner, Garner, and Boseman.
