‘Quarterback’ Netflix season 2: Josh Allen breaks silence, reveals meeting with Patrick Mahomes
Josh Allen would fit perfectly in Season 2 of the Netflix series "Quarterback." Allen has proven over his time with the Buffalo Bills that he's one of the top players in his position in the NFL today.
The two-time Pro Bowler, who will be the cover athlete of Madden 24, spoke to reporters about potentially being on the next season of the Netflix series:
"I talked to Pat (Mahomes) a little bit about it, and I think it's a really cool concept. I think that to have everything documented, especially as a quarterback is very cool. You look at some of the documentaries that have come out in the past, the Jordan documentary.
"But to have that documented, especially if you can win at a high level and continue to be a successful quarterback in the league is super special."
Josh Allen says he goes back and forth in his mind whether or not he'd be interested in being on season 2 of the Netflix documentary "Quarterback."
Says he thinks concept is cool, but doesn't want to be a distraction.
Here's his full response when asked today.

“I don’t want any outside distractions. I don’t want any unnecessary distractions for myself or this team. I’m not saying that it would be.
"I’m a little undecided on whether I would want to do it or not. I go back and forth sometimes in my mind, but as of right now I’m just trying to be the best quarterback for this team."
To the Bills signal-caller's point, being on the series would garner exposure as was the case for Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs star was seen with his wife Brittany and his family off the football field.
Allen has been spotted with actress Hailee Steinfeld in Mexico and at a restaurant in NYC. Should he join the Netflix series, there's a reasonable chance we would see the actress as well.
He recently stated how he felt as the paparazzi captured his time on vacation with Steinfeld with various pictures:
“The fact that anybody still cares about that… it blows my mind. They were on a boat. I saw them, and I just felt this gross feeling. Insecurity, no privacy. Just like, what is wrong with people.”
Time will time whether the Bills star will appear on the series as he looks split on the matter.
Many QBs have rejected Season 2 of Netflix's 'Quarterback'
Jacksonville Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence and Baltimore Ravens' Lamar Jackson are two of many signal-callers who have reportedly rejected a chance to feature on Season 2 of the series.
Justin Fields, Jalen Hurts, Sam Howell, Tua Tagovailoa, Matthew Stafford, and Dak Prescott have also rejected the Netflix series.
Update: #Cowboys QB Dak Prescott has turned down Netflix 'Quarterback' series.
Prescott turned requests to do both season 1 last year and season 2 this year.
Running out of options..
So far Justin Fields, Tua, Jalen Hurts, Sam Howell and Dak showed no interest in doing… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… pic.twitter.com/loK4zoM30y twitter.com/NFL_DovKleiman…
One quarterback who seems to be on the fence is Justin Herbert of the LA Chargers. Herbert didn't rule out being on the series in a conversation with Pat McAfee.
"If you let it be a distraction it could be a distraction but if you're dialed in I don't think it'd be too much of an issue" ~ Justin Herbert
It sounds like you're on season two of Quarterback 😂😂 #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/GvjhG5jPfC
However, McAfee explained that nothing is locked when it comes to the casting:
"We are also told that nobody will know who is on Quarterback, by design. So any of the announcements of this person being on the show are not real. They will not be legitimized until a long, long, long time from now."
The only reported player on board for Season 2 is Cincinnati Bengals star, Joe Burrow.
