Andscape, the Black content studio from Disney & ESPN, today announced the new film, “The Quincy Avery Effect,” premiering on Hulu (Apr 23).

Quincy Avery, now one of the league’s most successful coaches, overcame 1,000 nights without a home to guide some of football’s brightest stars. The film highlights the remarkable rise of Black quarterbacks in the NFL, breaking through decades of barriers. For too long, Black athletes were told they couldn’t excel in the sport’s most coveted position. Through Quincy’s mentorship, athletes like Jalen Hurts, Justin Fields, CJ Stroud, and Jordan Love have shattered those limits and paved the way for future generations. These quarterbacks open up about the personal and political hurdles they faced on their path to greatness. They share how Quincy helped them overcome doubts, build confidence, and unlock their full potential on and off the field.
