Joe Burrow's Major Personal Decision Influenced by Peyton Manning

Joe Burrow is heading into his sixth NFL season with the Cincinnati Bengals following his second-career Comeback Player of the Year campaign in 2024.

Burrow is a fan-favorite around the NFL world. And before the 2025 season, fans will get an inside look at his personal and professional life.

Earlier this year, Burrow was announced as one of three players featured on Season 2 of Netflix's documentary series "Quarterback." The show will provide an in-depth look at Burrow's life throughout the 2024 NFL season.

Burrow was initially hesitant about participating in the show, declining an invitation for Season 1. But, the influence of executive producer Peyton Manning ultimately pushed him to accept the opportunity in Season 2.

“A big part was Peyton being involved in it,” Burrow said. “I have a lot of respect for him, obviously. What he did, does, as a person, when that guy reaches out to you and asks you to do something . . . most of the time I’m going to say ‘yes.’”

“Only positive things could come out of it,” he continued. “He’s going to protect me, protect our team, protect our organization. I have trust in him for saying that and trust that he’s going to do that. I probably wouldn’t have done it if he wasn’t involved, but I have a lot of trust and faith in him to not do anything that would hurt me or the team.”
