As the 8-episode docuseries ‘Quarterback’ continues to sweep the sports industry by storm, the buzz and excitement surrounding it show no signs of slowing down. Featuring no other than Patrick Mahomes and produced by Peyton Manning himself, the show became no. 1 on Netflix for seven days straight, immediately sparking speculations about a renewal. Then Pat McAfee came with a huge update about the upcoming season on his show.

McAfee discussed various aspects of the show’s development last year in a recent episode. He also revealed the potential reason for the crew’s visit to Green Bay last year.

Peyton Manning was in Green Bay for a separate reason

In his recent episode, McAfee shared some insider details about the upcoming season. Firstly, he dismissed any rumors about a potential quarterback appearing in the next season, as it’s kept secret as of now. So, just because a crew follows an athlete doesn’t mean they’re filming for the docu-series. He also mentioned how teams were unaware of the first season’s filming, and only a few higher-ups knew about it, adding more secrecy in the air.

One of the show’s co-hosts pointed out that people might now assume certain athletes are filmed for the documentary due to the first season’s success. To this, McAfee clarified that Manning’s presence in Green Bay last year had nothing to do with the show, addressing the rumors about Aaron Rodgers‘ appearance in season 1. Moreover, McAfee disclosed that several quarterbacks in the league declined to be part of the upcoming season for various reasons.

Dak Prescott refused to be a part of the show for both the seasons

As news of the highly anticipated show’s renewal broke, there were numerous updates on several quarterbacks expressing strong hesitancy about joining it. Prescott was among them, declining both the renewal and the first season. He voiced discomfort with the show, revealing too many personal details about an athlete.
