Patrick Mahomes bats for O-linemen to feature in next Netflix docuseries - "They don't get the love"
Last week, Quarterback, the NFL's first-ever Netflix docuseries starring Patrick Mahomes, finally hit online stores. But the reigning two-time Super Bowl winner believes the two juggernauts should go for something entirely different for their next project.
Speaking at the series premiere event in Los Angeles, he proposed that offensive linemen be the stars of said project:
"I would say, O-line. Like, those guys, they have some personality to them... They don't get the love; they don't get the attention, but they have the best personalities on the team."
He also gave some potential subjects if it ever came to fruition:
"Creed Humphrey first, easy. Orlando Brown, one of the funniest dudes I've ever met. Lane Johnson?"
But the Kansas City Chiefs star was not the only one. Newly-minted Philadelphia Eagles backup Marcus Mariota also put forward the o-line as a prospective subject:
"If you could get, like, a group of offensive linemen to go out there and do one, that would be really, really cool.
"They love football; they love ball, but they also are very talented in a lot of different ways."
Which position should Netflix make a show about next? 🤔

Other NFL stars disagree with Patrick Mahomes on Netflix's next NFL project
Unfortunately, it seems as if Patrick Mahomes and Marcus Mariota are the only ones who want a spotlight to be shone on the offensive linemen, aka the guys who keep them upright as they look for open receivers.
Even Mahomes' own teammate Travis Kelce disagrees, thinking that tight ends like him should be next:
"You might be surprised. Some of these tight ends got big-time personalities. I'm not talking about myself. These guys got a lot of depth to themselves, and it's kind of the tight end way, very unselfish."
Current Fox Sports host and former linebacker Emmanuel Acho and current Baltimore Raven Marcus Williams think defensive backs, especially safeties, should be the ones:
Acho: "Got to be safeties bro. I think the safety has the second most stressful position in all of football."
Williams: "It got to be DB. Probably one of the toughest positions on the field."
And while he did name the position directly, current analyst Nate Burleson advocated for wide receivers, based on which players he wanted Netflix to cover next:
"I'm going with Stefon Diggs... Justin Jefferson, Davante Adams."
Changes to Kansas City Chiefs offensive line: Who will protect Patrick Mahomes in 2023?
As Patrick Mahomes the Chiefs prepare to defend their Lombardi Trophy, they have lost two members of the offensive line.
The more significant loss is left tackle Orlando Brown Jr., who has gone to the Cincinnati Bengals for four years and $64 million. He has already further intensified the burgeoning Chiefs-Bengals by making comments about his former and current quarterbacks. The other loss is Andrew Wylie, who started at right tackle for Super Bowl LVII and helped running back Isiah Pacheco to 76 yards and a touchdown.
To fill the gap, the team has picked up fellow Super Bowl champion Donovan Smith from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and former Jacksonville Jaguar Jawaan Taylor. Based on past experience, the two are respectively expected to line up at left and right tackle.
