NFL Hall of Famer Peyton Manning and his production company, Omaha Productions, along with NFL films are set to deliver one of the best pieces of content you'll see all summer. 

"Quarterback", an eight-part Netflix docuseries, is set to premier on July 12. 

The series features all-access footage of quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, and Marcus Mariota from last season. 

Manning spoke to the New York Post earlier this month about the series and how he convinced Mahomes, Cousins, and Mariota to take part in the project. 

Also during the interview with the New York Post, Manning pointed out that NFL fans will see one thing from Mahomes that might surprise them — a lot of swearing. 

From The New York Post: One surprising element of the show is that Mahomes has a potty mouth — he can regularly be seen dropping f-bombs on the sidelines during the heat of the game.

“I think people will be surprised to see that because obviously you don’t really have that access on the field all the time,” said Manning, who made it clear he wasn’t judging Mahomes for the vulgarity.

“My feeling is he doesn’t really start out doing it, but if you poke the bear, look out! This is a competitive guy. A Raiders pass rusher found that out the hard way. He’s looking for things that challenge him.”

That's probably true of most professional athletes — especially in the NFL which can be incredibly intense (each game means more than a regular season game in any other sport). 

Mahomes, despite the potty mouth, is still one of the best role models for any young kid playing sports these days.
