HENDERSON, Nev. -- Ameer Abdullah, a core special teams player and backup running back for the Las Vegas Raiders, spent the offseason writing his first feature film script.
He's in the third act of the 99-page screenplay, so the question must be asked: What's it about?
Abdullah smiled.
"I'm not going to share that right now," he said, lest someone steal the concept, right?
A real-world idea, then, for a treatment that Hollywood just might jump at: Football player from a small town in South Carolina has to go the Division II route as a receiver before switching positions to running back and going undrafted.
