Speaking onThe Pat McAfee Show,the Colts legends said, “Season 2 has been greenlit by Netflix, we’re excited, we’re hoping for more quarterbacks, it’s easier to say yes. I don’t want to hear ‘It’s going to be a distraction’ because that’s not true, Patrick Mahomes proved that, Kirk Cousins proved that, Marcus, the way he handled that, proved that. We’re hoping that guys after seeing it say this is going to be a cool thing that I can show to my kids when I’m older, show to my grandkids one day. Hopefully the pitch will be easier.”

Has any quarterbacks agreed to participate in season two?
I would think that especially with Pat Mahomes doing it in the inaugural season that would make more Quarterbacks to consider doing it!

Really enjoyed Season 1. Glad to hear they’re running it back with 3 new guys. Loved the day-to-day life stuff. I found it much more interesting that Hard Knocks.
