Following the success of last year’s documentary series “The Quarterback,” cameras followed several pass catchers through the 2023 NFL season.
“Receivers” premiered on Netflix earlier this week. The documentary series offers a behind-the-scenes look at the 2023 season with Davante Adams, Justin Jefferson, George Kittle, Deebo Samuel and Amon-Ra Saint Brown.
It’s worth noting that Adams didn’t always see eye to eye with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo last season, and some scenes in “Receivers” seemed to highlight the disconnect between Adams and Garoppolo.

“This is so pathetic,” Adams said after Garoppolo overthrown a pass during a game against the Detroit Lions. “Just throw the ball! Fuck. I’m so sick of this f**king nonsense,” Adams continued, slamming his helmet on the ground near the bench.
