Nearly three dozen elite college football players descended on a city of 8,600 people in rural southeast Kansas in 2017.

They formed a fearsome squad for Independence Community College where they bulldozed their way to a Jayhawk Conference title for the first time in 30 years.

All that played out on season three of Netflix’s “Last Chance U”. The documentary series chronicles former NCAA Division I football players who, after losing their first shot in college sports’ highest echelon, transfer to junior colleges in hopes of proving themselves worthy of a second chance.
