The series “Quarterback” renewed for a second season by Netflix

Netflix began broadcasting the show “Quarterback” featuring Patrick Mahomes (QB, Chiefs), Kirk Cousins ​​(QB, Vikins) and Marcus Mariota (QB, ex-Falcons) on July 12.

Obviously, it’s a success since Peyton Manning, former glory of the Colts and the Broncos, announced in the PatMcAfeeShow that the video-on-demand platform had already renewed the program for a second season.

As a reminder, the series plunges us into the very different daily life of three starting quarterbacks in the NFL: Mariota who has to fight against rookie Desmond Ridder for the starting position in Atlanta, Kirk Cousins ​​who takes his first steps under the orders of Kevin O’ Connell in Minnesota and Patrick Mahomes looking to win another Lombardi Trophy with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Return of a historic jersey for the Vikings

The Vikings have announced the return of their historic jersey paying homage to the franchise’s jersey from the sixties and seventies.

We find on the helmet the traditional horn of the Viking in a retro aesthetic and a gray color grid. This jersey was revealed via a virtual event reserved for ticket holders.

The Vikings will wear this tunic in the first week of the 2023 season against the Buccaneers and are expected to wear it again in the future.

Austin Ekeler reflects on his failed transfer

The market for running backs is cruel. Once considered the cornerstone of NFL offenses, the position is now devalued. In search of a contract extension, Josh Jacobs, Tony Pollard or even Saquon Barkley learned it at their expense.

Austin Ekeler (RB, Chargers)versatile running back and main offensive weapon of the Chargers, had gone so far as to demand his transfer to put pressure on his leaders without however winning his case.

“It didn’t happen (the transfer) because I had a lot of luggage with me. It would have had to sacrifice important draft picks to get me back. It’s funny how they see me for my fair value when I ask for a transfer but they devalue me when I ask to be paid, ”he said on CBS Sports Radio. “From the management’s point of view, I completely understand, they had the advantage. Not only would it have had to trade important draft picks, but it would also have had to restructure my contract. I admit it. »

Eventually, Ekeler had agreed to a restructured contract with additional benefits for lack of anything better. The running back will thus bring his versatility both in the passing game with these 722 receiving yards and on the ground with his thirteen touchdowns scored during the 2022 season for at least one more season.

Peter Skoronski has nothing to say about the length of his arms

NFL scouts had no doubts about Peter Skoronski’s talent (T, Titans). However, everyone agreed to point out the length of the arms of the offensive tackle, considered smaller than the average for tackles in the league.

Skoronski intends to prove that this is only a detail.

“Obviously, it’s a significant asset in pass protection to keep opposing players away. But I say it and repeat it, it’s not only that that counts and in my opinion it’s not the most important. There are so many more determining factors,” he said during an interview for The Mid Show.

Either way, the Titans don’t consider this to be a problem as they selected Skoronski in 11th place in the 2023 draft, proof of the confidence they place in him.
