Just a lil’ background here. I grew up in Maine and in doing so, I am a passionate, Bruins, Red Sox, Celtics and of course, New England Patriots fan. (Did we mention ‘passionate’) I’ve watched Brady’s entire career, the ups and downs, (mostly ups,) and drive my family and dogs crazy every Monday, Thursday and Sunday during football season. Unfortunately… this article or show have NOTHING to do with MY Tom Brady. (Love you Tom, you’ll always be my GOAT.)
Today, Netflix released a trailer for an upcoming series called, “Quarterback.” It takes you behind the scenes of what 3 of the NFL’s quarterbacks goes through on a daily basis, on and off the field. You may THINK you know what it’s like… but as you will see… you have NO idea.
Some quarterback named Peyton Manning, who I GUESS, is an executive producer on the series had this to say about the show.
“Playing quarterback in the NFL is a unique experience that has some pretty incredible ups and downs. Thanks to this collaboration with our partners at NFL Films, 2PM Productions and Netflix, fans will be given a unique and intimate look at what life is like as a starting QB.”
Patrick Mahomes said this about “Quarterback.” “I’m excited for fans to get an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at an unforgettable season for the entire Chiefs organization and for my family. From welcoming home a new baby in the middle of the season to welcoming the Lombardi trophy back to Kansas City, our crew was there for it all. This new Netflix series will show the time, preparation, and balance that it takes to be an NFL quarterback and perform on the biggest stage.”
Here is the official synopsis for “Quarterback” from Netflix.
As Netflix’s first partnership with the NFL, Quarterbackis a new Netflix sports series that takes a unique look at each season, told through the lens of NFL quarterbacks. For the first time ever, the NFL allowed quarterbacks to be mic’d up for every single game of a season.
The series features exclusive, unprecedented access to Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota from the beginning of the 2022 season to its conclusion, following them on and off the field, from inside the huddle with teammates to inside their homes with their families. The series features behind-the-scenes of the biggest moments of the season, as Mahomes set an NFL record for total offense on his way to winning the league and Super Bowl MVP awards; Cousins engineered the greatest comeback in NFL history and led the Minnesota Vikings to an NFC North Division title; and Mariota took over as the starting quarterback with the Atlanta Falcons.
