Season 1 featured Patrick Mahomes, Marcus Mariota, and Kirk Cousins.
He finally has a quarterback signed on for the second season, Matthew Stafford, the 35-year-old signal-caller for the Los Angeles Rams.
Stafford has been in the NFL for a while, and his family is well-known because of his wife Kelly’s social media platforms and her podcast.
Nevertheless watching his preparation at this point in his career will be interesting.

We know that Russell Wilson has spoken out about being focused on his work with the Denver Broncos so he will not be involved.
It doesn’t sound like Russell Wilson will be on season two of Netflix’s “Quarterback.”
During his presser today, Russ praised Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions company, which produces the show, but …
“I’m focused on right now … beating the Raiders.”

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa declined because he prefers to keep his family life private.

Also reportedly turning down the offer were Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, and Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields.
Some wondered if the show would continue given the lack of interest.
With Stafford in, it sounds like the show will go on.
