"Quarterback," among Netflix's most popular shows, follows NFL quarterbacks Kirk Cousins, Patrick Mahomes and Marcus Mariota on and off the field.
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters July 26 that he was approached about being part of the show's second season, but he declined.
"Maybe one year," Burrow told reporters. "This year I'm not. We'll see. I would like to do it maybe a couple years down the road but I don't think now's the right time."
So why were there stories and tweets Monday about Burrow starring in the show's second season?
