Kirk Cousins, Marcus Mariota, and Patrick Mahomes are not only 3 of 32 starting quarterbacks in the NFL. All three have participated in a new Netflix series by former QB Peyton Manning called “Quarterback”. This sports series follows a day in the life of these quarterbacks during the 2022 NFL season.
After watching the first 2 episodes, the series so far made me appreciate how much each has gone through from their high school careers until now. I can see how much hard work they have put in during practice and throughout the season. Each one of them had a unique story with unique goals in unique situations. We can witness the pressure they go through as game-changers for the entire season they have played in. I empathize with the “growing pains” they face with changes to their team and their personal lives during the season.
If you have never seen any Mic’d Up on the NFL channel on Youtube, go watch that as well, but during the series, it was like Mic’d Up all the time with each QB in the series. I enjoy these players opening up about their mental health and the mind games they battle with on the field. These players make you feel like a human being when they get overwhelmed with the errors and mistakes they make over the successes they accomplished.
Overall, this was an amazing series. The 40-60 minute episodes feel short. If you have Netflix, I would highly recommend you watch this series. You will feel all emotions with the show. And finally Peyton Manning, I hope we get another season of this with 3 new QBs’ lives for the 2023 season when it comes along.
