Davante Adams, Justin Jefferson Among NFL Stars Set for Netflix's 'Receiver' Series

If you were a fan of Netflix's Quarterback series, then you'll surely want to tune into the streaming service's latest NFL series.

Netflix announced its latest sports venture, Receiver, on Tuesday.

Receiver follows five of the NFL's top pass-catchers from the 2023 season—Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams, Minnesota Vikings wideout Justin Jefferson, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel and Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.

The series, which will include eight 45-minute episodes, is being produced by NFL Films, Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions and Patrick Mahomes' 2PM Productions.

"We are excited to be working again with Netflix and NFL Films to give fans unprecedented access to what it's like to play receiver at the highest level," Manning said. "As we did with Quarterback, we look forward to telling the stories of five incredible receivers, each with their unique personality, skill set and motivation for what drives them to be the best."

Receiver will debut in summer 2024.

Of the five receivers included in the series, St. Brown had the most impressive 2023 season, catching 119 passes for 1,515 yards and 10 touchdowns in 16 games for the Lions, who won the NFC North for the first time since the 1993 campaign and made the NFC Championship Game for the first time since the 1991 season.

Adams, a six-time Pro Bowler, caught 103 passes for 1,144 yards and eight touchdowns in 17 games for a Raiders squad that finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs for the second straight season.

Jefferson, the 2022 Offensive Player of the Year, was limited to 10 games due to a hamstring injury, but he still managed to catch 68 passes for 1,074 yards and five touchdowns, which is nothing short of impressive. The Vikings finished 7-10 and missed the postseason amid an injury-riddled campaign, which included Kirk Cousins tearing his Achilles.

Kittle and Samuel suited up for the 12-5 49ers, who fell to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII. Kittle caught 65 passes for 1,020 yards and six touchdowns in 16 games, and Samuel caught 60 passes for 892 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games.

Samuel is one of the most entertaining wide receivers in the NFL as he's also capable of working out of the backfield. He rushed for 225 yards and five touchdowns last season.
