In a theater packed with football heros like Peyton Manning, Tee Martin, and Larry Seivers as well as former coaches Bill Battle and Phil Pulmer and current coach Derek Dooley, Kenny Chesney premiered  his new documentary, The Color Orange: The Condredge Holloway Story last week in Knoxville, Tennesse.

Kenny made his debut in filmmaking with his inspiring football documentary, The Boys of Fall, which was a huge success. However, the power and emotion behind The Color Orange: The Condredge Holloway Story is unparalleled.

Chesney - who grew up around Knoxville - looked up to Condredge from an early age, not only for his amazing skills as a starting quarterback for the Tennessee Volunteers, but for who he was as a person and the way he handled adversity.

Nicknamed The Artful Dodger, Condredge was well-known for his plays on the field, but the bigger headline for him was the fact that he was the first starting African-American quarterback in the Southeastern Conference.

Along with players that followed Condredge's career at Tennessee, Kenny, director Shaun Silva and ESPN's John Dahl addressed the football legend after the premiere.

Football star Peyton Manning even confessed to getting choked up during the film. "I was crying and I know you had to have been crying so I want to know your reaction," Peyton said to Condredge. "And Kenny and Shaun, I just want to tell y'all thank y'all for letting everybody know what a great player Condredge was and what a true legend he was."

The premiere was the first time Condredge had seen the film, as well, and he was still emotional when he responded to Peyton's question, "Yeah...it got me."

Tee Martin, who led Tennessee to a National Title in 1998, also had a strong reaction to the movie to share with Condredge.

"First of all, I want to say thank you so much not only to yourself but to Lester [McClain, first African-American player at Tenneessee] for opening doors for someone like myself. I grew up in south Alabama with Alabama, Auburn, and my decision to come to Tennessee had a lot to do with you being strong enough, you being brave enough, you making that decision years ago to say 'I'm going some place' to have the opportunity to play quarterback at the University of Tennessee and I just want to thank you. You're awesome to me. You mean so much to me in those championship years. Seeing you on the sidelines, I think it did wonders for me."

Revealing that the film allows you to get to know Condredge, his family and the things that were important to him as well as the struggles he went through, Kenny Chesney adds that "the thing that all of us who made this film realized and got to know is the man behind the orange number seven."
