Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and ESPN college football analyst Desmond Howard will be executive producers on an Amazon series called Work Horses, according to Dominic Patten of Deadline.
Anthony Hemingway, who directed episodes of The Wire, American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson and the movie Red Tails, will take the lead on this project.
Per Patten: "The Hemingway-helmed film will look at the high-stakes and no-pay world of the gridiron battles played out at America's top colleges. It will also explore the ingrained system that profits off players who struggle to make ends meet off the field.
