Draft Day Journey: Jordan Whitehead
A few weeks before the 2018 NFL Draft, I contacted around 40 players, agents, or their representatives pitching the idea of a draft day documentary. Only three agents responded, two of them telling me that they were not interested. The third person to respond was interested in the documentary and we set up the details. I drove from Buffalo, NY to Monaca, PA hours before the second night of the NFL Draft. I first went to Jordan's high school and interviewed his high school coach. Then, I drove to Robinson, PA where the draft party was being held. I stayed the weekend in Robinson and on the third day of the draft, Jordan was drafted #117 overall to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the fourth round.
