In the second season of Quarterback on Netflix, the producers faced a challenge in finding enough quarterbacks to fill the roster. Instead of sticking with the same position, they decided to shift their focus to a new position – Receiver. Travis Kelce, a popular pass-catching tight end, was approached to join the lineup.
During an appearance on the Bussin’ with the Boys podcast, Kelce revealed that he had turned down the opportunity to be part of the show. Despite being asked after Patrick Mahomes had participated, Kelce decided to decline, stating that he preferred to focus on playing football and was not interested in participating in reality television anymore.
If Kelce had accepted the invitation, it is possible that he would have taken center stage with the rest of the cast playing supporting roles. The subjects of Receiver include Justin Jefferson of the Vikings, Davante Adams of the Raiders, Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Lions, and Deebo Samuel and George Kittle of the 49ers. Receiver is set to debut on July 12 without Travis Kelce as part of the lineup.
