Peyton Manning is having a hard time finding takers for the second season of his Netflix show, Quarterback.

The 47-year-old former NFL player has searched extensively for three quarterbacks to join the show and hasn’t had much luck.

Peyton told THR, “I’ll be perfectly honest: We cast the net out to a lot of quarterbacks. “We tried to do it two years ago and couldn’t get anybody to say yes.” He recalled going to Patrick‘s house to convince him to do the show. “I said, ‘Patrick, I’m just telling you, you’re going to want your kids to know what you used to do.

And what greater way to do it?’” Peyton remembered. “And I think that kind of struck home.” He added, “I think maybe some guys are thinking that it is going to be a distraction, even though I told a couple of them, ‘I guarantee you’ll win the Super Bowl like Mahomes if you do it.’” The former quarterback recently appeared in Bush Beans’ 2023 Super Bowl commercial.
