Shawn Oakman is a crazy talented athlete with huge dreams of playing for the NFL. He has been chasing his dream of playing for the NFL since he was a child. Oakman is not hard to locate on the field. He is usually the tallest player on the field towering his opponents at 6'9", tackling and punishing his enemies will all of 280 pounds of pure muscle in with his signature "crop uniform jersey" top. Graduating from Baylor University, playing defensive end for the Baylor Bears was not just a football team to him; they became his family. Oakman was the number one pick for the 2015 NFL draft and was seen as a future star. As fast as his name was up in lights to continue to purse his dreams, it quickly vanished and turned into a nightmare. Oakman shares his story of his obstacles when he faced growing up, not able to speak, being placed in a foster home at a young age, going viral as the "Shawn Oakman" meme to fighting to clear his name of sexual assault charges, the aftermath of "3 years & 45 minutes," his future NFL dreams and his inspiring platform Open Obstacles. This is the compelling & powerful real fight of the REBIRTH of SHAWN OAKMAN.
