Troy White can predict what's going to happen next in a football game. His single mom gets a job with the Atlanta Falcons, and Troy tries to tell the team that he can help them win games. At his own games, Troy is never allowed to play, and he is forced to wait in the shadow of the coach's son who can't play well and is a big bully. Troy also gets into trouble for stealing a ball out of a football star's backyard. Will he ever get to show what he can do? This is an entertaining plot that, unfortunately, includes Michael Vick prior to his legal difficulties.
