 Netflix has officially released “The UnderDog”, a powerful new sports documentary chronicling the early life, college career, and enduring legacy of legendary Tennessee Volunteers quarterback Peyton Manning. The film, which premiered on the streaming platform today, has already generated massive buzz among college football fans and sports enthusiasts nationwide.

Directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker Ava Thornton, “The UnderDog” takes a fresh look at Manning’s formative years in Knoxville, highlighting his rise from a highly recruited high school prospect to one of the most beloved athletes in college football history. The documentary features never-before-seen footage, exclusive interviews with former teammates, coaches, and family members—including father Archie Manning and brother Eli—as well as commentary from modern NFL stars influenced by Peyton’s legacy.

The film also delves into Manning’s decision to return for his senior year in 1997, bypassing the NFL Draft, a move that cemented his legendary status in Tennessee and inspired a generation of players.

Early reviews praise “The UnderDog” for its emotional depth, storytelling, and rich archival footage, with Variety calling it “a heartfelt tribute to a player who redefined what it means to be a leader, both on and off the field.”
