Season one of Netflix's "Quarterback" was so popular that fans are already wondering who the streaming service will follow in the 2023 NFL season. One thing is certain: It won't be Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields.
Fields said Netflix approached him to appear on the second season of "Quarterback," but he declined.
"(Netflix) did actually reach out to me and I don't think I want to do it, just because I would rather keep everything the way it is around here," Fields told reporters on Tuesday. "Just having cameras around the building, I think that might change the vibe of everyone. I just want to keep it natural and organic and really just focus on what’s going on in the building."
Fields said he made an executive decision and didn't consult his teammates. However, he didn't rule out appearing on the Netflix series ever: "Maybe down the road but I don't see myself doing it this year at least."
"Quarterback" followed the lives of Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes, Minnesota Vikings Kirk Cousins and former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota (now on the Philadelphia Eagles) on and off the field. All three players were mic'd up for every single game of the 2022 season.

"I watched it. It was kind of cool seeing everybody's different backgrounds and seeing how they prepare. It's also cool seeing their personal lives and how they balance life and football," Fields added on Tuesday. "I think people realize how much works goes into being a quarterback and the mental side of things. Just how much we have to prepare and know everyone's job... It really just gave everyone our perspective of what we go through."
Fields is familiar with cameras following him. His senior year at Harrison High School in Kennesaw, Georgia, was featured on the second season of the Netflix series "QB1: Beyond the Lights."
