Former Dallas Cowboy Greg Ellis Revisits Friday Night Lights

Posted Aug 7, 2015
Greg Ellis spent 12 seasons in the NFL as a starting defensive end, and all but one of them with America’s team, the Dallas Cowboys. When he retired five years ago, he set out to break into another notoriously difficult business—Hollywood. After starting his own production company, Play Now Enterprise, Ellis had the opportunity to work on a project that combined both of his passions: A football movie. (Sports Illustrated)
