Peyton Manning’s Omaha Production and the NFL partner on “Receiver” premiering on Netflix, marking a significant event for all football fans. The documentary follows the 2023 season of NFL receivers Davante Adams (Las Vegas Raiders), Justin Jefferson (Minnesota Vikings), George Kittle (San Francisco 49ers), Deebo Samuel (San Francisco 49ers) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (Detriot Lions). Before watching, here’s a little insight about the players.
Davante Adams of the Las Vegas Raiders has had a challenging season, characterized by the mid-season dismissal of an unpopular coach and the transition to Antonio Pierce, a player’s coach.
Justin Jefferson’s season with the Minnesota Vikings was marked by adversity, including a seven-game absence due to injury and quarterback Kirk Cousins tearing his Achilles tendon; however, he recently secured a substantial four-year, $140M contract extension, featuring $110M in guaranteed money.
George Kittle, the tight end (which means he protects the quarterback during plays) for the San Francisco 49ers, joins Deebo Samuel and their teammates on a journey to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas. Known for his formidable skills and larger-than-life personality, Kittle brings a professional wrestler’s flair to the game.
Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Detroit Lions played a part in the revival of football in Detroit as Dan Campbell’s Lions defied the odds.
The documentary gives a glimpse into their personal lives, challenges, and behind-the-scenes access to training sessions and candid moments on and off the field.
