Netflix docuseries “Quarterback” has revealed a whole new side to football stars. Season 1 shines the spotlight on quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes, Marcus Mariota, and Kirk Cousins. During the introductory episodes, the Chiefs QB, Patrick Mahomes, has the stage all to himself. After the smashing success of its debut season, the show is gearing up for an even more thrilling second edition.

One of the highly anticipated candidates for the upcoming season is Cincinnati Bengals‘ quarterback, Joe Burrow. Despite the show’s success, Burrow recently shared his decision regarding the opportunity to be in the spotlight for the show. This decision comes as no surprise to Bengals fans who are familiar with his approach to media interactions.

Joe Burrow was among the quarterbacks who declined the opportunity to be featured in the second season of the hit Netflix series ‘Quarterback.’ Despite the show’s immense popularity and the chance to showcase his life beyond the football field, Burrow had initially chosen not to participate citing his desire to maintain personal space and focus on his game as the reasons for his initial refusal. However, fate had other plans for him. A recent calf injury altered the course of his decision.

Last week, Burrow suffered a calf injury during a game that left him limping off the field, sparking concerns among fans and the Bengals organization. The severity of the injury was unclear, and there were doubts about his return to the game in the near future. Amidst this uncertainty, Burrow had a change of heart regarding the ‘Quarterback’ series. Reports emerged that he is now open to being part of the series.

Netflix’s ‘Quarterback’ Season 2 Possible Additions

As the anticipation for the second season of Netflix’s ‘Quarterback’ continues to build, fans are eager to know more about the cast that will be featured alongside Joe Burrow. While it is confirmed that Burrow will be quarterback followed throughout the 2023 season, there are still two spots to be filled by Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions and Netflix. Peyton Manning and Netflix are on the lookout for a quarterback who falls somewhere between the top-tier superstars and those on the verge of retiring. Someone like Kirk Cousins, who possesses immense talent but hasn’t quite reached the prime-time spotlight, could be the perfect fit.
