Season 1 of ‘Quarterback’ is now streaming on Netflix, sparking intense discussions among fans. It sheds light on the challenges of one of the hardest jobs in the world – being a quarterback. Peyton Manning, who is the producer of the Series, himself emphasized the difficulties quarterbacks face. While the series boats about the hard work of Super Bowl Winner Patrick Mahomes, the younger brother has been subtly avoided.
The show provides viewers with a glimpse into the demanding profession through the lives of some beloved QBs, including Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, and Marcus Mariota. The series also delves into the roles of their families and offers glimpses of their daily lives off the field. However, one surprising aspect is that a famous member of the Mahomes family was missing from the $400 million Netflix project, i.e. Patrick Mahomes’ controversial brother.
Just a small role in the big project?
The new 8-episode docuseries goes beyond the gridiron, following the lives of famous NFL quarterbacks during the 2022 NFL season. While each quarterback and their close family receive ample screentime, Pat’s brother Jackson Mahomes is notably omitted from the series. Pat Sr. and Randi, Mahomes’ parents, appear in different scenes, offering advice to their son, and Brittany Mahomes is featured in every episode.
On the other hand, Jackson, who previously loved the limelight but faced legal issues, only appears as an extra or a supporting actor. Despite being a key member of Patrick Mahomes’ inner circle and present at significant moments in the Chiefs QB’s career, the 23-year-old did not secure a prominent role in the docuseries. Although we see him in the background of various scenes, he is never directly interviewed or given a chance to share his perspective.
The decision to keep Jackson in the background remains unclear, but it is possibly speculated that it is due to his controversial nature, or Mahomes himself wanted him to stay out of any controversy.
A rough time for Pat’s controversial brother!
The Mahomes family is facing turmoil as Jackson Mahomes was arrested on assault allegations by a female owner of a KC restaurant. He paid a $100,000 bond to get out of jail, but the legal troubles are far from over. The case is scheduled to unfold in the upcoming month, and only time will reveal the true outcome and whether Jackson will be found guilty.
The incident has had serious repercussions on the Mahomes family’s reputation. Meanwhile, the restaurant owner, Aspen Vaughn, who reported the incident, has also suffered setbacks. The Oakland Park Restaurant has been forced to shut down until further notice. Aspen Vaughn admitted her regret in involving the authorities as it led to a significant 75% loss in profits for the business.She hopes that everything will soon return to normal, but only time will tell what lies ahead for Jackson, the Mahomes family, and the KC restaurant owner.
