1. Lamar Jackson Rejects Offer to Join Netflix’s ‘Quarterback’
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson recently responded to Netflix’s invitation to appear in an upcoming original series. Titled ‘Quarterback’, the show set to portray life in the NFL from a quarterback’s point of view.
The offer was ultimately declined by the MVP, due to the potential distraction that the series could create amidst his involvement in the upcoming season. To demonstrate his commitment to the team and furthering his growth as a football player, Jackson’s choice was not to undertake the project.
Top 3 reasons Jackson said no to Netflix:
- The Ravens training camp is set to start July 27, shortly after the filming was proposed to begin.
- The commitment Jackson demonstrates to the Ravens is immense. He reportedly still plans to coach kids during the off-season.
- Jackson’s own goals for the upcoming 2020 season.
Jackson is not the only MVP-level quarterback to be approached by Netflix for their series, as Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson have all reportedly received invitations. Also, Russell Wilson has already taken part in a similar project with his “DangerTalk” series.
2. NFL Record Breaker Rejects Big Money for Larger Goal
Tyreek Hill has smashed and broken numerous NFL records, making him a valuable player. But despite a lucrative offer to join a top-tier team, Hill declined it for a higher goal. He decided against the $40 million deal, claiming that he’s not motivated by money.
Hill’s team reached out to him with a truly impressive offer after he topped the league’s inaugural season with 25 touchdowns in 14 games. He was set to be the highest-paid wide receiver in the game. But even that wasn’t enough for Hill after he experienced the thrill of global recognition.
The NFL record breaker stands as a reminder that human potential is limitless. The former college drop-out has since gone on to become a global icon. His tremendous success clearly came from his undying dedication to achieving a higher goal rather than chasing after wealth. His determination is one for the books.

3. Jackson Sets Record Straight: Why he turned down $260,000,000 Deal
Over the past few days, Jackson Brown has been in the headlines for turning down a record-breaking $260,000,000 deal that was offered to him. Few knew why he made such a move, and since then, Jackson has been speaking out to set the record straight.
It appears the incredible offer Jackson received was not enough to sway him. To him, money was never the goal—kindness, compassion, and connection were. He believed that if he took on the deal, he would be constrained by the expectations of the company, rather than being free to express himself.
With that in mind, Jackson declined the deal. Here’s what he had to say:
- I want to be true to myself and to the messages I have been sharing, about finding strength within ourselves and opportunities within our communities.
- I want to know that I can freely create and connect, without any limitations or conditions based on an outdated framework.
- Above all, I want to remain focused on the projects and causes that truly bring me joy and make a difference in the world.
Jackson has also noted that he will be continuing to fundraise for his own charitable endeavors, which have become an even bigger part of his life.
