BREAKING: Mizzou Legend Chase Daniel Inks Mega Deal with Netflix for Seven-Episode Docuseries Celebrating His Missouri Tigers Legacy
Columbia, Missouri — In a groundbreaking moment that has Tiger Nation roaring with pride, former Missouri Tigers quarterback and beloved football icon Chase Daniel has signed a massive deal with Netflix to produce a seven-episode docuseries chronicling his journey, legacy, and the golden era of Mizzou football. Titled “Undeniable: The Chase Daniel Story”, the series is more than a documentary—it’s a heartfelt tribute to one of college football’s most respected and enduring figures.
The announcement, which was made jointly by Netflix, Daniel’s production team, and the University of Missouri athletic department, marks a defining moment in sports storytelling, promising to captivate fans across the country with unprecedented access, emotional depth, and thrilling football nostalgia.
From Southlake to Stardom: A Journey Worth Telling
Chase Daniel’s journey began in Southlake, Texas, where he led Southlake Carroll High School to back-to-back state championships and national recognition. Despite being underrated in the national recruiting conversation, Daniel chose to attend the University of Missouri, a decision that would forever change the trajectory of the Tigers’ football program—and his own life.
The docuseries dives deep into Daniel’s rise from a three-star recruit to becoming one of the most decorated quarterbacks in Missouri history. It captures the essence of grit, determination, and leadership that defined his time in Columbia.
Daniel famously led the Tigers to a historic 12-2 season in 2007, which included a monumental victory over then-No. 2 Kansas at Arrowhead Stadium—a game etched into college football folklore. That same year, Missouri rose to No. 1 in the AP Poll for the first time in nearly five decades, cementing Daniel’s place as a Mizzou legend.
A Love Letter to Mizzou Football
The seven-part series will follow a chronological narrative, starting with Daniel’s early days and culminating in his transition to the NFL. But the true heartbeat of the story lies in his time at Mizzou. Each episode will feature exclusive interviews with former teammates, coaches (including the legendary Gary Pinkel), analysts, and even rivals who witnessed his dominance firsthand.
Fans can expect never-before-seen footage, behind-the-scenes locker room moments, and personal reflections from Daniel himself. The series doesn’t shy away from the highs or the lows—the crushing losses, the media pressure, the locker room speeches, and the camaraderie that made Missouri football a family.
Daniel, who also serves as an executive producer on the project, said in a press release:
“This series is a love letter to Mizzou, to my teammates, my coaches, and every fan who believed in us. It’s not just my story—it’s our story. I hope people watch this and remember what it felt like when Missouri football was on top of the world.”
Beyond the Field: A Man of Integrity and Influence
While much of the series focuses on football, “Undeniable” also showcases the character and values that made Chase Daniel beloved well beyond the gridiron. From mentoring younger players to giving back to the Columbia community, the documentary reveals a man whose legacy is as much about leadership and humility as it is about touchdowns and trophies.
Daniel, who enjoyed an impressive 13-year NFL career as one of the league’s most respected backup quarterbacks, is portrayed as a model of consistency and professionalism. His transition from college star to NFL journeyman provides inspiration and perspective, emphasizing that success in football—and in life—comes in many forms.
