NFL Draft Picks Reveal Favorite Films and Binge-Worthy Series

Guillermo del Toro

Oscar-winning filmmaker and author whose work and commentary explore fantasy, horror, and cinema.

When preparing for a demanding NFL career, these new draft picks find solace and entertainment in a wide array of cinematic and television experiences. While many naturally gravitate towards inspiring football-centric narratives such as 'The Blind Side' and 'Remember the Titans,' celebrating the spirit of sportsmanship and perseverance, their viewing habits extend far beyond the traditional athletic genre.

Beyond the motivational sports films, the athletes also indulge in a variety of other popular productions. Some reveal a fondness for animated features like 'Zootopia 2,' while others are engrossed in intense dramas and thrillers like 'The Night Agent' and 'Breaking Bad.' Interestingly, a significant number of players also confess a penchant for reality television, including dating and competition shows such as 'Love Island' and 'Temptation Island,' offering a glimpse into their lighter, more escapist viewing preferences.

These revelations highlight the multifaceted personalities of these budding sports stars, reminding us that even individuals dedicated to peak physical performance and intense competition cherish moments of relaxation and immersion in diverse forms of storytelling. Their choices reflect a universal human desire for connection, excitement, and the simple joy of being entertained, regardless of their professional paths.
