As a freshman, Davis quickly makes an impression on the football field and becomes a star player. His team, the Syracuse Orangemen, soon become a national powerhouse.
However, Davis soon discovers the racism he faces in the south as the team travels to play in the Cotton Bowl against the University of Texas. Despite the racism, Davis and his team persevere and win the game, with Davis being named the MVP.
Davis is drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 1962 and is set to become the first African-American to play in the NFL. However, he is diagnosed with leukemia and dies shortly after being drafted.
