Beyond their game-winning touchdowns and game-saving tackles, NFL players are human beings with personal stories and struggles, but fans rarely get a glimpse of who players are behind the scenes.
This summer, that will change as Minnesota Vikings fans will get an in-depth look into quarterback Kirk Cousins’ life.
On Wednesday, Netflix announced that they are releasing a docuseries, “Quarterback,” that will follow three quarterbacks from this past season and give access as we’ve never seen before.

Here is an excerpt from the Netflix press release.
“We are thrilled to partner with Netflix and could not be more excited for our first project together,” said Ross Ketover, NFL Films Senior Executive. “NFL Films and Netflix share a passion for dynamic storytelling, and the opportunity to continue our strong relationship with Peyton and Omaha Productions is one we are incredibly enthusiastic about. We are especially grateful to Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota for granting us an extraordinary view of what it takes to play quarterback in the NFL.”
We’ll get to follow Cousins through one of the most eventful Viking seasons we’ve ever witnessed, from the comeback in Buffalo to the largest comeback in NFL history against the Indianapolis Colts. It sounds like it’s not just the games either, but we’ll also get access to Cousins inside and outside the facility, which will make for a fun series to binge.
Netflix has yet to release a date for the premiere of this series, but Cousins, along with Atlanta Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, will star in what is bound to be a fun perspective on being a quarterback in the NFL.
