In the TV movie Love on the Sidelines, recent college graduate Laurel Welk (Emily Kinney) wants a job as a fashion designer but ends up working as a personal assistant. Her first job is working with injured superstar quarterback Danny Holland. At first, Danny isn’t thrilled with the idea of having a woman who knows nothing about football being his assistant. But then he gets to know her and falls in love with her.
