Spoiler!

Today, Netflix announced its newest sports series "Receiver" that follows pass catchers for the 2023 NFL season: Davante Adams (Las Vegas Raiders), Justin Jefferson (Minnesota Vikings), George Kittle (San Francisco 49ers), Deebo Samuel (San Francisco 49ers) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (Detroit Lions).

"Receiver" is an eight-episode series set to premiere in Summer 2024 as a continuation of Netflix's relationship with the NFL that first began with "Quarterback," which hit the Netflix Global Top 10 for three weeks last year.

The series is produced by NFL Films, Omaha Productions and 2PM Productions, with executive producers Ross Ketover, Pat Kelleher and Keith Cossrow from NFL Films, executive producers Peyton Manning and Jamie Horowitz from Omaha Productions, and executive producer Patrick Mahomes from 2PM Productions.

"The natural progression is from a pass to a catch, so we're excited to dive into the 'Receiver' world after the success of our 'Quarterback' series," said Gabe Spitzer, vice president, nonfiction sports, Netflix. "NFL Films, Omaha Productions and 2PM Productions have delivered again in finding unique and dynamic athletes who will further highlight the drama of this sport on and off the field."

"We were thrilled last summer to see audiences all over the world diving into the lives of NFL quarterbacks," said Joe Zucco, supervising producer, NFL Films. "We believe the extraordinary skills, dedication and passion of the NFL's great wide receivers -- and one tight end -- will make a perfect follow-up."

"We are excited to be working again with Netflix and NFL Films to give fans unprecedented access to what it's like to play receiver at the highest level," said Peyton Manning. "As we did with 'Quarterback,' we look forward to telling the stories of five incredible receivers, each with their unique personality, skillset and motivation for what drives them to be the best."

Netflix is the premier home for great sports stories as this series joins Netflix's lineup of sports programming, including recent releases like "Quarterback," "Formula 1: Drive To Survive," "Full Swing," "NASCAR: Full Speed," "Untold," "Tour de France: Unchained," "Under Pressure: The U.S. Women's World Cup Team," "Six Nations: Full Contact" and more. Netflix has partnered with sports leagues including Formula 1, National Football League (NFL), the PGA TOUR, Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), Women's Tennis Association (WTA), Fédération internationale de football association (FIFA), World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and more.

Well yeah. I mean Mahomes doing it and going MVP, SBMVP is a pretty tough act to follow.

I came in here to post this exact same thing. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title.

I thought this was going to be an edging joke about his head coach taking him to the superbowl but not letting him win.

travis kelce heard reality tv and noped out immediately

Quarterback had a shitty Mariota getting cut, Ned Flanders overachieving and Patrick being the GOAT. Essentially Quarterback had a bit of everything.

What this show will have is 6 guys who've all had good individual seasons. The only bit of contrast really is that Devante and Jefferson are playing for garbage teams. It's been suggested already but what they really needed was a Toney type shitty idiot WR to at least make it not so samey. Hell, they could have followed Tyreek impregnating a dozen women whilst his house burnt down. Bland as shite this lineup is.

can't wait to see kittle's super bowl reactions that we didn't hear in mic'd

Mecca · 03-19-2024, 11:16 AM

It's so weird how many guys don't wanna do shows like this, all that extra exposure almost always equals money.

I love Kittle. His quotes and reactions are hilarious to me. He's always so happy and in a good mood. He'll probably say something like "Wow, they are so good. Can you imagine being on a team like that? Wow."

No way man, he'll be back with a vengeance yet again just this time it'll be 1 catch for 3 yards.

There are no Chiefs. Why are there no Chiefs?

Seanathon · 03-19-2024, 11:57 AM

Toney didn't have enough time on the field to fulfill his slot on this. The world is grateful. I don't want to see him on screen again unless its returning a punt.

InChiefsHeaven · 03-19-2024, 11:59 AM

Kittle is the token white dude. As a tight end not even a receiver.

They were like..."Ok, we need a white guy. Any white guys that are good receivers? No? How about tight ends not named Travis Kelce. Kittle? PERFECT!!"

FloridaMan88 · 03-19-2024, 11:59 AM

False advertising since Kittle is a blocking TE.
