Kenny honors his childhood hero

Kenny Chesney fielded a phone call from ESPN just a few days after finishing his first football documentary, Boys of Fall. They wanted to know if he'd consider producing another project spotlighting one of his sports idols, Condredge Holloway, the University of Tennessee player from the early '70s who became the first black quarterback in the Southeastern Conference. Although the singer was looking forward to a break in his demanding schedule, he knew he couldn't resist the offer. "I was trying to figure out, 'Well, if I don't do it, somebody's gonna do it,'" he says. "I'm so glad I did, though. It was a labor of love."
