After a season of distraction, Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson is reportedly locking in for Baltimore’s upcoming campaign.
Per The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec, the former MVP revealed that Netflix reached out to him about being a part of 2023’s “Quarterback” series. And while Jackson said he was appreciative, he’s just focusing “on ball” right now.

Netflix’s first season followed the on and off-field lives of Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota.
The show gives pretty unprecedented access into what goes into being a professional at the hardest and most important position in sports.
So far QBs like Jalen Hurts, Tua Tagovailoa and Geno Smith have also declined participating.
