Which QBs turned down appearing on Season 2 of 'Quarterback'

The popular Netflix show “Quarterback” has been earning rave reviews since it premiered on the streaming platform two weeks ago, leading to speculation about a second season.

Executive producer Peyton Manning confirmed last week that there would be another season, prompting many to wonder which three signal callers would be featured in Season 2?

But for as popular as the show is — it had 3.3 million viewers the week it premiered, making it Netflix’s sixth-most watched show during that span — some of the league’s top QBs, including Dan Prescott who said he and the Cowboys already get enough coverage, have disclosed that they’ve already turned down requests to appear on the next installment of the docuseries.

Many cited not wanting to put their personal lives on display for a national audience while others aren’t comfortable with the lack of privacy that comes with being followed around by a camera crew, similar to HBO’s “Hard Knocks.”

Below is a list of players who have already said no to doing Season 2 of “Quarterback” and their reasons why:

Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals

"I would like to do it maybe a couple years down the road,” Burrow told reporters. “But I don't think now's the right time. … The process of doing that show is very intense. There's a lot of time you have to put into that, time that I'm not ready to give right now. Everybody knows that I'm a very private person, especially in my personal life, and so that's a window into a personal life that I'm not quite ready to share yet."

Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins

"I have seen (the show)," Tagovailoa told reporters. "There have been talks about going on it, but I feel like right now, it just isn't the right time. I'm a very [private] guy, I felt like the series was a lot more personal, it was a lot more about their personal lives than it was more so what they did on the football field. And for me, that's not something that I like to do, especially to show my kid on national television or people seeing what I do.”

Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles

"I actually turned it down last year," Hurts told reporters. "I didn't feel it was appropriate for the year, so I turned down the opportunity to be on it. … That time will come. There's a lot of journey to be told and there's a lot left to unfold that will be told one day. That time will come." 

Justin Fields, Chicago Bears

"Just having cameras around the building, I think that might change the vibe of everyone," Fields told reporters. "I just want to keep it natural and organic and really just focus on what's going on in the building."

Sam Howell, Washington Commanders

"I did watch the show," Howell told reporters. "It was a great show. I thought they did a great job. I don’t know. I'd have to think about it. Honestly, probably not. Especially this year. I think I would kind of like to focus on football. Not that those guys weren't, but I don't want any distractions or anything like that. I don't know, maybe somewhere in the future, but probably not this year."
