What is Quarterback all about? An overview of the Netflix docuseries starring Patrick Mahomes
Produced by NFL Films in conjunction with Omaha Productions, the entertainment company of Hall of Famer Peyton Manning, Quarterback promises to be a deep dive into the lives of Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, and Marcus Mariota, each of them having different goals for themselves and their respective teams in the 2022 season.
