The Urban Meyer years at the University of Florida produced some of the most memorable moments in program history, both good and bad.
Netflix’s Untold series is dedicating a chunk of its third season (Vol. 3) to the “Swamp Kings,” and a preview for the upcoming release reveals that Meyer and Tim Tebow will be featured in the documentary.
Untold: Swamp Kings is scheduled to debut on Aug. 22, according to the site. Unlike the other three roughly hour-long episodes in the series, the Gators’ story will be told over four 45-minute episodes.
“At Gator football, there’s no second-place trophies,” coach Meyer says before ending the preview with, “this is going to be un-expletive-believable.”
It’s almost a guarantee that Meyer and Co. won’t be laying all the cards on the table, but that era of Gator football had so much going that even 25% of the dirt would make for good television.
The other three episodes in the series will focus on Jake Paul, a YouTuber turned boxer; legendary Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel and his party-boy lifestyle, and Victor Conte’s infamous doping scandal that involved Barry Bonds and track-and-field legends Marion Jones and Tim Montgomery.
