Without a doubt Reggie White was the greatest Defensive lineman ever as I remembered those years as a "Philadelphia Eagle" that he destroyed and crushed QB's. This "ESPN" "30 for 30" doc which first aired on 12-13-23 episode 35 from season four called "The Minister of Defense" sums it up that Reggie aside from a superstar DE was an even more great and super caring human being. Told thru clips, highlights, game footage and interviews with family and former players paints a revealing and touching picture of one tough yet loving caring gentle giant of a man. Told of was his humble church upbringing in "Tennessee" and how god shaped him at an early age. With his love for sports playing for the "Vols" in college to a stopover in the "USFL" in Memphis, to later glory with Buddy Ryan and the Birds "Gang Green" defense the doc brought back wonderful memories. Yet it would chronicle the struggles of him leaving Philly, the burning of his and other black churches in the South, all before finding new light in "Green Bay" and finally winning a "Super Bowl" while expanding on working with his relationship with Christ. Thru it all White lived it all and made a difference and impact, sadly Reggie left us way to soon. Overall excellent doc from the "30/30" "ESPN" series one that is a must watch for any "NFL" or "Reggie White" fan.
