Peyton Manning's Netflix series, Quarterback, has officially been given the green light to premiere for a second season on Netflix next year. The first season was a hit and featured quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, and Marcus Mariota.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa told the media on Wednesday that he declined the offer to be on season two of the series. Tua's reasoning for not accepting the invite was that he thinks the show would reveal too much about his personal and private life.

Tua will be entering the fourth season of his NFL career in 2023 with the Miami Dolphins. He suffered multiple concussion injuries last season and the Dolphins were criticized for how they handled his injuries.

Despite the setbacks, Tua Tagovailoa had a career season, leading the league with his 105.5 passer rating.
