    On night one of the NFL Draft, Alabama star Brian Branch sat backstage anxiously waiting for his name to be called.

    This was the defining moment of his lifetime; the culmination of years of hard work, struggle, and determination. The small-town kid turned Alabama football star was expected to be picked in the first round, that's why he had received one of the coveted invitations to attend the draft in person. Various experts had predicted that he would be drafted as high as pick 11. Would they be right? Or, as he so often felt, would Brian Branch have something to prove?

    NEXT LEVEL follows Branch on his journey from high school player, to college star, to NFL hopeful. We learn Brian’s story, and the details of his early life that both challenged and motivated him: an absent father who struggled with mental illness, a single mother who fought to make ends meet and who, when Branch was 11, was diagnosed with an aggressive breast cancer. Along the way, we hear from the people who believed in Branch: his supportive mother, legendary coach Nick Saban, locker room friends, and more.

    And, of course, we will ride along for Pro Day, the Combine, and Draft Day itself - all while Branch provides a firsthand account of one of the most demanding, intense, unpredictable experiences in professional sports.

    Join Brian Branch as he tries to make it to the NEXT LEVEL.
