​A reality show that gets washed up athletes back into shape.

Get 27 men age 30 to 45 who played football in HS or college but “could have gone pro if it wasn’t for….” and have a competition to get them into shape. Each episode someone is “cut from the team”, where there was some spotlight challenge to be the fastest or the strongest.

Get personal trainers and dieticians to come on the show, and help them train. While we watch them lose weight and increase speed and endurance you can go through the stories of how they ended up quitting football, adding drama and stakes for the audience.

Once we get down to the last 11 players have them go up against a random high school team for their final “spotlight challenge”.

Season 2 can be American football.
