## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A corn-fed quarterback faces the age-old question of where to cash in his talents. Johnny, who’s built like a wind-up toy, fields offers from every coach west of the Mississippi. But loyalty and love are on the table too. The film serves up exactly the schmaltz you’d expect from a mid-pack recruit’s dilemma.

**Mood tags**: cozy, playful
