Cornered is a social-first documentary series that follows Jaylon Johnson, cornerback for the Chicago Bears and the NFL, through the most vulnerable pause of his career. An injury interrupts the season and forces a reckoning beyond the field, revealing a story shaped by faith, family, discipline, and purpose.

Rather than chase spectacle, Cornered stays close. We framed recovery as a human process, documenting the quiet work of rebuilding body and mind while exploring the man behind the helmet as a father and entrepreneur turning a corner toward what comes next.
