A running list of the NFL QBs who turned down appearing in Netflix’s Quarterback so far
The first season of Netflix’s Quarterback delivered a remarkable inside look at the on and off-field lives of three NFL signal-callers: Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, and Marcus Mariota. The program succeeded so much that Netflix and producer Peyton Manning are already looking ahead to filling the docket with a second season.
Suffice it to say: We are getting a lot more quarterback fun moving forward.
But not everyone wanted the constant camera treatment around their lives throughout an entire season. Quarterback is entertaining for viewers, but it’s easy to see why some quarterbacks might see its production as invasive, unnecessary, or distracting. And that’s just for them, personally. Imagine that experience for teammates, family members, and friends. Try and put yourselves in these players’ shoes for just about six months. It wouldn’t be fun!
The list below will track all the quarterbacks who have turned down Netflix in some capacity so far. Unsurprisingly, it features a few big names, leaving the streaming company to be a bit more judicious in its player selection.
