Amon-ra St. Brown, a beloved Detroit Lions wide receiver, will be one of five pass catchers featured in the NFL’s new Netflix series “Receiver.”
The NFL announced Tuesday that the eight-part documentary will follow pass catchers during the 2023 season, including Davante Adams of the Las Vegas Raiders, Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings, George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers, Deebo Samuel of the San Francisco 49ers, and Amon-Ra St. Brown.
The show is scheduled to launch this summer.
The series is produced by NFL Films, Omaha Productions, and 2PM Productions, with executive producers Ross Ketover, Pat Kelleher, and Keith Cossrow from NFL Films; Peyton Manning and Jamie Horowitz from Omaha Productions; and Patrick Mahomes from 2PM Productions, according to the NFL.
St. Brown was the Lions’ top target last season.
Netflix previously published a show titled “Quarterback.”
“The natural progression is from a pass to a catch, so we’re excited to dive into the ‘Receiver’ world after the success of our ‘Quarterback’ series,” said Gabe Spitzer, vice president of nonfiction sports at Netflix, according to the NFL.
