Kirk Cousins, Joe Burrow, Jared Goff announced for new season of Netflix's 'Quarterback' series
Netflix's "Quarterback" will return to the streaming platform this year, the company announced Wednesday.
The NFL documentary debuted in 2023 and provided a behind-the-scenes look at three quarterbacks. Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes headlined that season's cast, while Kirk Cousins' injury-shortened season with the Minnesota Vikings was also chronicled. The debut season also followed journeyman quarterback Marcus Mariota's uneven run with the Atlanta Falcons.
Cousins will return for the second season. Newcomers, Cincinnati Bengals star Joe Burrow and Detroit Lions signal-caller Jared Goff, also allowed cameras to follow them on and off the field during the 2024-25 NFL season.
Netflix released a teaser for the upcoming season Wednesday. "Coming to Netflix this July," the streaming service wrote on X.
Another NFL-focused documentary, "Receiver," was released a year after "Quarterback."
It followed the 2023–24 seasons of several wide receivers and one high-profile NFL tight end. The docuseries gave an inside look at Davante Adams' season with the Las Vegas Raiders. The series also followed Minnesota Vikings All-Pro Justin Jefferson and Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.
San Francisco 49ers standout Deebo Samuel's season was also documented, while George Kittle represented the tight ends group on the show. Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions, Mahomes' 2PM Productions and NFL Films handled the series' production.
Cousins had a turbulent first season with the Falcons. He threw a career-high 16 interceptions before he was benched in favor of rookie quarterback Michael Penix. Cousins was coming off a season in which he tore his right Achilles tendon during a loss to the Green Bay Packers in October 2023.
Burrow had arguably the best season of his NFL career in 2024 and was named AP Comeback Player of the Year.
He finished the season with a career-high 4,918 passing yards and 43 touchdowns. The Bengals finished with a 9-8 record and failed to qualify for the playoffs.
Goff also had a strong regular season, finishing with 4,629 yards passing, nine yards shy of his career best.
The Lions entered the postseason as the NFC's top seed but were eliminated from contention when they were upset by the Washington Commanders in the divisional round.
The first season of the docuseries featured eight episodes. Netflix did not reveal the episode count for season 2.

93 days until the Texans' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 93?
The Houston Texans are less than 100 days away from kicking off the 2025 season in Los Angeles against the Rams at SoFi Stadium and we're counting down the days until a victory ensues on the west coast. Texans Wire will each day tell you which player has worn the number of the day leading up to kickoff and pick the player who ensured the number best during their time at NRG Stadium. As for today, let's take a look at who has won No. 93 since the inaugural season in 2002. Texans players to wear No. 93 No. 93 currently belongs to Kurt Hinish, who's back on a one-year deal after missing chunks of last season due to injury. He's been a solid depth piece since joining Houston as an undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame in 2022, but he's not the best player to don the number in the last 20 years. Advertisement DL Kurt Hinish (2022-present) DL Jaleel Johnson (2021) DL Joel Heath (2016-2019) DL Jared Crick (2012-2015) DL Tim Bulman (2007-2009, 2011) DE Jason Babin (2004-2006) LB Kevin DeRonde (2003) DL Erick Flowers (2002) Best Player: Jason Babin Babin might be better known for his time in Seattle or Philadelphia, but he kick-started his success as a pass-rusher in Houston. The former first-round pick notched 13 sacks and 25 tackles for loss before being shipped off to the Seahawks in 2007. Babin's breakout year in Tennessee with 12.5 sacks eventually led to a megadeal with the Eagles on a five-year contract. He terrorized the Texans during his brief stay in Nashville, but he'll always be remembered -- at least for the time being -- as the best player to wear No. 93.

WATCH: Texans QB C.J. Stroud returns to practice, throwing during minicamp
Houston Texans fans can exhale a sigh of relief following the start of Tuesday's mandatory minicamp at the Methodist Training Center. Third-year Pro Bowl quarterback C.J. Stroud threw passes for the first time in almost a month during the opening of Tuesday's minicamp practice. He connected on several completions to Pro Bowl wide receiver Nico Collins and rookie Jayden Higgins that caught the eye of reporters in practice. Advertisement Here's a look at several throws during the early stages of team drills. Stroud was kept from throwing during the Texans' OTA practices over the last two weeks because he was dealing with 'general soreness' in his throwing shoulder, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans. Both Ryans and first-year offensive coordinator Nick Caley said that they weren't concerned with Stroud missing reps and he'd be ready to go ahead of training camp. Stroud is in a pivotal year for the Texans after leading the franchise to back-to-back division titles. With a pair of losses in the divisional round, Houston spent the offeseason trying to revamp the offense and put the franchise quarterback in a better position to succeed. Advertisement While Stroud didn't throw during team drills, the fact that he was throwing at practice in general is a promising sign. Houston could elevate his reps on Wednesday's practice to close out minicamp with the media. The Texans open the regular season on the road against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium on Sept. 7.

Texans worked out former first-round CB Damon Arnette ahead of minicamp
A former first-round pick could he calling the Houston Texans home soon if all goes according to plan Monday afternoon. According to KPRC2 Sports' Aaron Wilson, the Texans worked out Houston Roughnecks cornerback and former Las Vegas Raiders first-round draft pick Damon Arnette Jr. on Monday morning. Arnette is trying to make a comeback after a short-lived career in the NFL beginning in 2020. Advertisement Cornerback depth has become a need for Houston behind All-Pro Derek Stingley Jr. and breakout rookie Kamari Lassiter. Veteran cornerback Ronald Darby retired recently, leaving the No. 3 role occupied by Jeff Okudah last season open. Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said they'd look at multiple options and apparently, Arnette is one of them. Last season, while playing for the Roughnecks in the United Football League, Arnette racked up 18 tackles, five pass breakups and an interception. Selected 19th overall by Las Vegas in 2020 out of Ohio State, Arnette was released by the Raiders less than two years later after a video surfaced of the former Buckeyes standout brandishing firearms and making death threats. Although Arnette had a brief stint with the Miami Dolphins on a practice squad that year, he never returned to an active roster on Sunday. In 13 games, Arnette recorded 29 tackles, one tackle for loss and three pass deflections. Arnette told Wilson in a one-on-one interview he's spent the last three reflecting and significantly reordered his life with different priorities. 'I'm a dawg on the field. I'm more of a professional now than I ever was before," Arnette told Wilson. "I wasn't a professional before. I was just a dawg. I found professionalism and a calm state of mind. I feel like I'm the best version of myself that I've ever been.' Advertisement The Texans return to practice on Tuesday for the start of mandatory minicamp.
