The wait is over! The Netflix ‘Receiver’ Documentary Series has finally dropped on OTT on Wednesday, July 10th at 3 a.m. It has released all eight episodes, each boasting an average run time of 45 minutes. And as expected, many hidden things are coming to light!

After last year’s smash hit ‘Quarterback,’ the new ‘Receiver’ documentary brings Davante Adams, Justin Jefferson, George Kittle, Deebo Samuel and Amon-Ra St. Brown to the screen. But wait! Did you feel something off about the names? You guessed it right! Among these receivers, the San Francisco 49ers’ star player Kittle is making a buzz among fans. As many are speculating why is Kittle, being a tight end, in the series? Well, as already mentioned, many hidden things are coming to light, including this one.

George Kittle has a request from his fans!

In episode 1 of “Great Expectations” in the Receiver film, George Kittle enters the scene while signing autographs on his 49ers jerseys for fans. This setup took place in September last year, and Kittle introduced himself with: “I’m George. I know you think the show’s about just receivers and all.” He then disclosed the reason why he is in the documentary, despite being a tight end. Kittle expressed, “But being a tight end, I get to do everything.”

He continued, “I do catch passes. I do score touchdowns. I gotta block people. Pass protect people.” So, yes, it is this multi-faceted role that allows Kittle to be tagged as a position holder in the Receiver series as well.

The principal role of wide receivers on the gridiron is to catch forward passes from the quarterback as well as defend them against the opponent’s safeties and cornerbacks. Similarly, the TEs protect their quarterbacks by blocking and even catching passes from them like a typical all-rounder. Hence, tight ends are arguably considered as the receivers of the offense.

Besides dwelling on the curious question of the fans, Kittle also requested them in the episode. He hoped, “When you watch my tape, I want you to say, “Wow, this guy gives it his all on every single play.”” And yes, the receivers do deliver their best, as portrayed in this Netflix Series. Their dedication and commitment in their gameplay will undoubtedly make fans realize the true “wow” factor, via the series. And Peyton Manning already did this from his side.

Peyton Manning made an addition to his Quarterback’s introductory line!

Last year, Netflix delved into the challenging role of playing quarterback in the NFL through their series “Quarterback.” Now this time, Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions, and 2PM Productions, produced “Receiver,” acknowledging the position which is mostly connected to QBs. Like in Quarterback documentary, Manning praised and applauded the quarterbacks of the league, this time too, in Receiver, he comes up with an addition to it.

In the opening moments of “Receiver,” the legendary quarterback, Manning expressed, “They say there’s not a more difficult position in sports than NFL quarterback. But the truth is, throwing a pass is only half the story. With all due respect to offensive linemen, the quarterback’s best friend is this guy: the receiver.”

So, are you watching this spectacular tribute to the “Receivers” of the NFL?
