Netflix's 'Quarterback' trailer stars Joe Burrow, Jared Goff and Kirk Cousins ahead of season 2 release date
Netflix's "Quarterback" series is back, and some big names agreed to take part in the documentary. Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow, Detroit Lions' Jared Goff and Atlanta Falcons' Kirk Cousins will be the focus of the second season of the program, Netflix revealed in a trailer Monday.
The trailer features Burrow talking about the longevity of the great quarterbacks, Goff talking about living up to high expectations after leaving the Los Angeles Rams and Cousins taking about the Atlanta Falcons taking Michael Penix in the NFL Draft.
It marks the second appearance on the program by Cousins, who was featured on the first season of the series. At the time, Cousins was still a member of the Minnesota Vikings. The first season of "Quarterback" focused on Cousins leading the Vikings to a first-place finish in the NFC North.

While Burrow and Goff should provide excellent moments, Cousins may be the most intriguing quarterback featured in season 2. After sustaining an Achilles injury during the 2023 season, Cousins joined the Falcons on a four-year, $180 million deal in the offseason. He struggled in his return, throwing 18 touchdowns against an NFL-leading 16 interceptions.
That performance got Cousins benched in favor of Penix during the final three games of the regular season. "Quarterback" will presumably cover that entire storyline, and feature never-before-seen footage of Cousins reacting and responding to those developments.

The first season of "Quarterback" was received well by fans, as it featured Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, then-Falcons QB Marcus Mariota and Cousins. But Omaha Productions, which produces the series, had trouble finding quarterbacks willing to be filmed for season 2 of the program. As a result, Omaha Productions pivoted to "Receiver" ahead of the 2024 NFL season. After a year away, Omaha Productions was able to convince Burrow, Cousins and Goff to take the plunge.
With the three quarterbacks announced, Netflix also dropped the release date for "Quarterback" on Monday. The program will air July 8 on Netflix. It's unclear how many episodes will make up season 2. The first season of "Quarterback" lasted eight episodes.

RB James Conner can move up Arizona Cardinals' all-time list in 2025
Conner could move up to No. 2 in franchise history in rushing yards and set the record for rushing touchdowns in 2025. Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner begins his fifth season with the team in 2025. He already is among the best and most productive running backs in franchise history. Through four seasons with the Cardinals, he has 3,668 rushing yards and 37 rushing touchdowns. He is fourth in franchise history in running yards and second in rushing touchdowns. He has had over 1,000 yards in the last two seasons. With another solid season, he will move up to second place in one category and No. 1 in another. Conner will pass Stump Mitchell for second place all-time with 981 rushing yards in 2025. Mitchell had 4,649 career rushing yards for the Cardinals from 1981-1989. Will Conner be able to reach No. 1? Ottis Anderson is the team's all-time leader with 7,999 career yards. He needs 4,332 more rushing yards. That seems like a tough ask. However, he can set the franchise record with touchdown runs. Conner has 37. Anderson holds the franchise high with 46. With 10 rushing scores, he will set the new record. He had eight, seven and seven in each of the last three seasons, but he had 15 in 2021, so he does have it in him. With the potential emergence of second-year running back Trey Benson, it could be more difficult for Conner to reach those milestones.

Steelers' blockbuster Jonnu Smith trade seems inevitable after season-ending OTAs injury
Our hearts go out to Steelers TE Donald Parham Jr., who suffered a torn Achilles at OTAs on Tuesday. Parham, who spent four years with the Los Angeles Chargers before signing with Pittsburgh this offseason, was expected to push TE Darnell Washington for reps behind TE Pat Freiermuth. Advertisement As a result, the argument against Pittsburgh acquiring Dolphins Pro Bowl TE Jonnu Smith — who has been heavily linked to the Steelers over the past few days — is almost nonexistent, with the offense now in need of another reliable pass-catching tight end after Parham's heartbreaking injury. Freiermuth and Washington are extremely underrated pieces of the Steelers' offense — but depending on Miami's asking price, acquiring Smith would be the move to make. If the Steelers did trade for the Dolphins Pro Bowler, extending Smith would be the next order of business — which could complicate other financial decisions Pittsburgh has yet to make.
