🎬 “Staubach: America’s Captain” – Coming to Netflix in 2025

The series, titled “Staubach: America’s Captain,” is being hailed as a powerful and emotional tribute to one of the most influential athletes in American sports.

Each episode will chronicle key chapters of Staubach’s life and career:

• His time as a Heisman Trophy winner at Navy

• Serving in the U.S. military before ever taking an NFL snap

• His unforgettable seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, including two Super Bowl victories

• Life after football as a successful businessman and philanthropist

This isn’t your typical documentary. Netflix producers promise dramatic reenactments, unreleased game footage, exclusive interviews with former teammates, coaches, and even political leaders who have admired Staubach’s integrity on and off the field.

🏆 Netflix Doubles Down on NFL Legends

Following the success of sports docu-series like The Last Dance and Quarterback, Netflix is banking on the power of nostalgia, patriotism, and legacy with this bold new project.

“Roger Staubach’s life is cinematic,” said Netflix Sports Director Lena Gonzalez.
“This series will speak to sports fans, military families, and anyone who admires leadership and grit.”

Netflix also confirmed that Tom Landry’s family, Tony Dorsett, and Terry Bradshaw will make guest appearances in the series to provide firsthand insights into one of the most defining eras of NFL history.

🙏 More Than Football: Service, Faith, and Humility

While the football accolades are impressive, the series also explores Staubach’s deep Catholic faith, his leadership in the Vietnam-era military, and how he built a multimillion-dollar real estate empire with the same values that made him a team captain.
