It depicts Kelce in both his personal and professional life as he weighs the decision about whether to retire from the NFL. He frankly discusses balancing the financial benefits and the physical cost of playing in the NFL. Kelce is a famous underdog[5] and the documentary has been described as the "most Philly sports movie ever" given Kelce's everyman likeable personality and underdog status.[6]
The film culminates in Kelce playing against his brother Travis Kelce in Super Bowl LVII. They were the first brothers to play against each other in Super Bowl history and the game also became known as the "Kelce Bowl".[7]
