"I've always loved talking about football with passionate coaches, players and fans, and it's at the heart of this show," Manning said in a statement. "I am honored to help extend the details of Kobe to a football audience."

The first episode will air on Thursday and will end Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen's game against the Vikings on Oct. 14.

The next generation of football players will learn how one of the greatest players of all time objectively breaks down a match – ultimate movie shoot for anyone who wants to learn and improve. "
