A few weeks from now, HBO’s “Hard Knocks” will get underway, with the popular show set to showcase Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets during training camp.
Although there are a lot of NFL fans waiting to see what goes down during training camp for the Jets with Rodgers now in the Big Apple, the league decided to take advantage of the few weeks ahead of “Hard Knocks” with another offseason series.
In the meantime, another NFL series has started to gain a lot of momentum on Netflix.
That series is “Quarterback,” which follows three NFL signal-callers and is the most popular show on the streaming service after a few days of being on the platform, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Unlike “Hard Knocks,” which focuses on one team during NFL training camp, the league decided to go in a different direction by focusing on one of the most difficult positions in professional sports.
Although it’s up for debate, the quarterback position in the NFL is as challenging as any in sports, and that’s what was put under the microscope during this series.
The series followed Marcus Mariota of the Atlanta Falcons, Minnesota Vikings star Kirk Cousins, and superstar Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs throughout the 2022 NFL season.
All three quarterbacks are on different paths in their NFL careers, with Mariota struggling to keep his job as a starter, Cousins trying to get his team deep in the playoffs, and Mahomes trying to win a second Super Bowl title.
Ultimately, it turns out to be pure entertainment, with Mahomes reaching his goal.
