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."
“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.

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.

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.
