The Vikings were also featured last year, in Strategistthat kicked off Netflix’s NFL docuseries. Cousins no longer plays for Minnesota — he left for the Atlanta Falcons in March — but Strategist completely changed public opinion about the veteran passer. People learned about Cousins’ dedication, sincerity and likeable personality through the series. Before StrategistCousins has also been called a “garbage time” quarterback or a “dink and dunker,” misnomers that fell into obscurity after the Netflix programming.

This time, Netflix will chronicle the wide receivers with Jefferson, Davante Adams, Deebo Samuel and Amon-Ra St. Brown. San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle even found his way into the lineup. The show will mimic Strategist and follow each player throughout the 2023 campaign.

These athletes—the precise, flawless pass catchers—take center stage in RECIPIENTthe new eight-episode docuseries that follows five athletes throughout their 2023 season, navigating enormous pressures on and off the field.

Jefferson missed seven games in 2023 with a hamstring injury while throwing for over 1,000 yards, so viewers will have a front-row seat to the odyssey of his recovery, his performance and Minnesota’s regular season as a whole.

We believe the extraordinary skill, dedication and passion of the NFL’s great receivers, and a tight end, will make for a perfect sequel.”

Unlike the series on Hulu Or MaxFor example, fans won’t have to wait a week between episodes. All eight episodes, each about 45 minutes long, will be available on Netflix on Wednesday. That’s about eight hours of NFL content, with Jefferson almost guaranteed to be featured to the max.
