GOOD NEWS: Netflix Officially Announces the Trailer for “ELWAY,” a Documentary on San Francisco Legend Kyle Shanahan
Netflix has fans buzzing with excitement as it officially drops the trailer for its latest sports documentary, “ELWAY,” a deep dive into the life, legacy, and leadership of San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan.
While the title might surprise some—sharing a name with NFL icon John Elway—the documentary is not about the Denver Broncos quarterback. Instead, it uses “ELWAY” as a metaphorical nod to the strategic brilliance and football lineage that defines Shanahan’s story. From his early days growing up as the son of Super Bowl-winning coach Mike Shanahan to his own meteoric rise in the NFL coaching ranks, the documentary promises an unfiltered look at one of football’s most cerebral minds.
The trailer, released earlier today, features a mix of never-before-seen footage, behind-the-scenes clips from the 49ers’ locker room, interviews with players like George Kittle and Deebo Samuel, and rare insights into Shanahan’s play-calling genius. NFL legends and insiders—including Bill Belichick, Sean McVay, and Patrick Mahomes—also lend their voices to explore Shanahan’s lasting influence on the modern game.
The documentary traces his journey through setbacks—including the infamous Super Bowl LI collapse while he was offensive coordinator for the Falcons—to his redemption and evolution as a leading architect of the 49ers’ current dynasty-in-the-making. Themes of resilience, innovation, and leadership run throughout the film, giving fans more than just a sports story—it’s a portrait of a football mind constantly ahead of the curve.
Netflix has slated the premiere of “ELWAY” for later this summer, coinciding with the buildup to the 2025 NFL season. With the buzz already growing, this documentary is shaping up to be must-watch content for fans of the sport, strategy lovers, and anyone inspired by the pursuit of excellence.
Stay tuned. “ELWAY” is not just a film—it’s a movement.
