Reggie McKenzie was the NFL Offensive Lineman for the Buffalo Bills who encouraged OJ Simpson, and the Bills organization, to rush for 2003 yards in 1973. Not only was he the key person clearing a path for OJ to run, he was the inspirational leader powering the attack. McKenzie also made history as a member of Bo Schembechler's first team at Michigan. The team that won the historic 1969 football game against the Ohio State Buckeyes. At the height of his career, McKenzie immediately returned to his hometown of Highland Park, Michigan with the entire NFL roster in tow. He started a football camp and had NFL stars come coach the kids in the community. The impact was profound! The camp is over 50 years old, has impacted thousands of children's lives, and is still going today. This film is a testament to how much one man can change the world.
