The new Netflix documentary series “Quarterback” details the 2022 seasons of three NFL QBs – the Minnesota Vikings’ Kirk Cousins, Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes and Atlanta Falcons’ Marcus Mariota.

But it might have told the story of Jalen Hurts as he led the Philadelphia Eagles to the Super Bowl and finished as the runner-up to Mahomes for the NFL Most Valuable Player Award last season.

On Wednesday, Hurts said he had declined the opportunity to be involved in “Quarterback.”

“I actually turned it down last year,” Hurts said. “I didn’t feel it was appropriate for the year, so I turned down the opportunity to be on it.”

An eight-episode series, “Quarterback” premiered on July 12.

Hurts said he hadn’t watched the program, and he had declined an invitation to appear on Season 2 of the series, too.

Like Hurts, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa played at Alabama, where they were teammates in 2017 and 2018. Unlike Hurts, Tagovailoa has watched “Quarterback.”

But Tagovailoa said he also had declined the chance to appear on the program.

“There have been talks about going on it,” Tagovailoa said, “but I feel like right now it just isn’t the right time. But even, too, because I’m a very personal guy, I felt like the series was a lot more personal. It was a lot more about their personal lives than it was more so what they did on the football field. And for me, that’s not something that I like to do, especially show my kid on national television or people seeing what I do. It would just be too hard to turn off. After a loss, a loss is tough as it is. I don’t know how that would go trying to talk about a loss in my car.”

For “Quarterback,” the three signal-callers wore a microphone at practice once a week and during every game.

“We’ve seen quarterbacks mic’d up for a game,” said Peyton Manning, a Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback who worked as the executive producer for “Quarterback.” “We’ve certainly seen training camp. But we’ve never followed a quarterback throughout the entire season to see what he does Sunday night after a big win, after a brutal loss on a last-second field goal, what they do on Mondays and Tuesdays on their off days. Are they hanging out? Are they playing golf? Are they in the weight room and watching film and grinding for that next game? Which is the answer, by the way, not to give it away. There is no golf in the season.”

Even though he has turned down “Quarterback” twice, Hurts said he might be open to such an opportunity at another time.

“That time will come,” Hurts said. “I know there’s a lot of the journey to be told and there’s a lot yet to unfold that will be told one day, and that time will come.”
