Commentary: Ryan Mallett film sure to bring tears

The documentary title — “15” — is simplistic, but perfect.

It is airing on Hogs+ after a fantastic premiere Wednesday night at the Fayetteville Public Library. It’s unbelievably well done.

Director Haley Ordway’s subtitle: The Untold Story of the Larger Than Life Legend.

At 6-7 and 240 pounds, it’s hard to say Ryan Mallett’s legend is larger than life. But I get it.

I also understand the title. He wore 15 like no other Razorback. It has been 15 years since the Sugar Bowl trip to end the 2010 season.

The scouting report on Mallett’s great 2009 and 2010 Arkansas seasons is that he was big, but with a right arm that was like none anywhere else in college football.
