Trent "Silverback" Williams, the NFL's best offensive lineman over the last decade, overcame a life-threatening cancer on his head to become the highest-paid at his position in league history and an accomplished entrepreneur off the field.

The Black Cape

Just before it reaches the point of praise akin to a sizzle reel, the narrative shifts and the real story emerges. It’s a testimony that is just as extraordinary as the athlete himself.

Rated: 3/5

Documentary that is as much about the person as it is the football player. The story of Trent Williams is interesting and uplifting. Will appeal to more than football fans.
