Created as part of ESPN’s “Year of the Quarterback” initiative, the film will debut everywhere Sunday, February 20 at 7 pm CT on ESPN.
In attendance for the event were University of Tennessee head coaches past and present Bill Battle, Phil Fulmer and Derek Dooley; ESPN College Game Day announcer and former Ohio State quarterback Kirk Herbstreit; Super Bowl-winning Indianapolis Colts and former UT quarterback Peyton Manning; Monday Night Football commentator and Coach of the Super Bowl-winning Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jon Gruden and many more.
“We have a lot of my heroes, that played with Condredge, a lot of my friends that came from all across the country, different parts of the world to be here tonight because they love football, and they love Condredge,” Chesney said to the audience during his introduction of the film.
