SMAC Productions and Fubo Studios are set to co-produce an eight-part documentary series on the evolution of the Black quarterback in America.
The docuseries will feature former quarterback Michael Vick in conversation with former and current football players and coaches, including Patrick Mahomes, Cam Newton, Tony Dungy, Andy Reid and Doug Williams. Vick will also speak with celebrities, journalists and cultural figures about their perspective of the game and evolving culture.
“I’m excited to be a part of this project because as a kid, I just wanted to have a shot at playing in the National Football League. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be the first African American quarterback drafted #1. I know that was a big step for us in society,” Vick said in a statement. “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 and who paved the way like Randall Cunningham, Steve McNair and Donovan McNabb. When you look at the evolution of the quBlack arterback, 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.”
Michael and Kijafa Vick, SMAC Productions’ Constance Schwartz-Morini and Fubo Studios’ David Gandler and Pamela Duckworth serve as executive producers. FredAnthony Smith, vice president of non-scripted at SMAC Entertainment, is set to direct and executive produce the series.

And I can justify it from the Scriptures.’ Former Football Players DERWIN GRAY and BENJAMIN WATSON Quickly and Eloquently Rebuke the Heisman Trophy Winner and Preacher’s Son, by Saying, ‘No, you can’t have multiple wives and concubines.’ Daniel Whyte III has thought about asking three great scholars who he respects to answer the question: Is it okay for Christian men to have multiple wives and concubines?–DR. RUSSELL MOORE, DR. TONY EVANS, and DR. JOHN PIPER; he surmises their answers in the same order. He believes Dr. Russell Moore would say ‘NO! I don’t even have to think about it.’ Dr. Tony Evans would show more compassion and say, ‘I understand what you are saying, brother, but, NO, you can’t do that and be right with God.’ And Dr. John Piper would say, ‘Let’s see . . . Let me think about it.’")
