The series follows retired NFL quarterback Michael Vick exploring the history of Black quarterbacks, celebrating progress and envisioning the future through interviews with influential Black QBs. Vick states: “I know that was a big step for us in society [when I got drafted]. I was always told that I revolutionized the quarterback position, but I also like to give credit to the ones who I idolized as a kid & paved the way like Randall Cunningham, Steve McNair and Donovan McNabb. When you look at the evolution of the Black quarterback, it’s because of the people that came before us. And now, I’m thankful for the dual threat concept that has changed the game for the better.” The series also features commentary from celebrities and other football stars including Common, Deion Sanders, Steve Young, Josh Allen, Jamie Foxx.
