In an exciting announcement made on Tuesday, the National Football League (NFL) and Netflix revealed the details of their upcoming docuseries titled "Receiver," set to premiere in the summer of 2024. This highly anticipated show will follow the journeys of five superstar pass catchers, including Detroit Lions' wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.

The newly announced series, a follow-up to Netflix's popular "Quarterback" documentary, will focus on the lives and careers of St. Brown, along with notable players Davante Adams, Justin Jefferson, George Kittle, and Deebo Samuel. While St. Brown's screen time may be slightly less due to the larger cast, the Lions' impressive run to the NFC Championship game ensures that the team will receive significant exposure in the series, particularly during the conference championship game where both Kittle and Samuel played.

Similar to its predecessor, "Receiver" will consist of eight episodes, covering the entirety of the 2023 season. The official premiere date for the series has not yet been revealed, but fans can look forward to the show hitting their screens in the summer of 2024, following the successful release of "Quarterback" on July 12th of the previous year.

In other Lions news, the team recently made the signing of guard Kevin Zeitler official. The Detroit Lions' Twitter account shared impressive statistics about Zeitler's performance, highlighting his exceptional pass-blocking score of 82.5, which ranked second among all NFL guards last season. The team also shared a photo of Zeitler boarding the People Mover, further building anticipation among fans.

Meanwhile, Lions' defensive tackle Alim McNeill expressed firsthand experience with Zeitler's tough playing style, indicating the significant impact the new signing will have on the team.
