New Netflix documentary to focus on Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, Marcus Mariota
No one ever put Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota in the same sentence until Wednesday. That’s because Netflix is focusing on the three QBs for an upcoming documentary, simply called “Quarterback,” that promises to deliver unprecedented access to the three quarterbacks, both on and off the field.
Mahomes has a new production company — 2PM Productions — that is co-producing the documentary alongside NFL Films and Omaha Productions, which is owned by Peyton Manning. The documentary will stream this summer.
It's an odd grouping of QBs that have had wildly different levels of success in the NFL, both before and during the 2022 season.
Mahomes led the league in passing yards (5,250) and touchdowns (41) and won his second Super Bowl in five seasons as the Chiefs starting QB.
Cousins helped lead Minnesota to a 13-4 regular season record that had its fair share of miraculous moments. It will be great to relive Justin Jefferson's incredible catch against Buffalo, but we can do without seeing Cousins shirtless with gold chains after the team's win against Washington a week earlier.
Mariota started the first 13 games of the season for the Falcons before being benched during the team's bye week for rookie Desmond Ridder. Mariota went 5-8 in his starts and was 184-of-300 (61.3%) for 2,219 yards, 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
Each quarterback will offer a different perspective on the various ways an NFL season can unfold.
From being benched in the regular season to playoff heartbreak to the ultimate victory, Mariota, Cousins and Mahomes experienced the highs and lows of being an NFL QB.
Thanks to Mahomes, this documentary won't end on a sour note. That is, of course, unless you live in Philadelphia.
