The Express (2008)
Ernie Davis was the first Black player to win the Heisman Trophy. This film, featuring Rob Brown as Davis, chronicles his all too short career. A fairly standard inspirational sports biopic, it also features the requisite fudging with historical accuracy. What it does do well is provide some insight into the experiences of Black players as they played against unintegrated teams, here culminating in brawls during the 1960 Cotton Bowl, and establishes Davis as one of a string of great Black players from Syracuse University, which included Jim Brown and Floyd Little.
