All American creator Nkechi Okoro Carroll teases the chances of Spencer interacting with the NFL during season 6. The showrunner previously teased a more mature story for the upcoming season, which will see the main character’s college football career continue to develop. This appears to be the same for other characters as well, whose dreams are still prospering in different ways across the show.
Speaking with TVLine, Carroll revealed that both Spencer and Jordan will be experiencing “the approach by the NFL” in All American season 6. The creator further elaborated on where Jordan fits into season 6, revealing what can be expected from his story moving forward. Check out what Carroll had to say below:
Stepping into his dad’s shadow, filling his footsteps, being the man Billy Baker always knew Jordan was going to be has Jordan reconsidering whether or not pursuing the NFL is something he should be doing on a more serious level. The return to the pursuit of that dream, now that all this life has happened to them, is a major focus of the season.
All American season 6 premieres on The CW on April 1, 2024.
Why It’s Time For The NFL To Appear In All American
All American is loosely based on the life of New York Giants player Spencer Paysinger, whose career spanned six years and four different teams. Because the fictionalized version of the pro player is now in college, it makes sense for scouts from the NFL to take notice of him as his career develops. Season 6 is the perfect time for this to happen, since he’ll have been playing in college for a long time, honing his skills to play professional.
While All American season 6 predictions can be made based off the cliffhangers of season 5, there’s no telling how the NFL could shake up the dynamic of the show’s football players. It’s possible that their introduction will become a contest between Spencer and Jordan, friction heating up between the pair as they each try to get signed. This could lead to some major drama off the field, especially as they each deal with developments in their personal lives.
It’s also possible the NFL’s presence will impact Spencer and Olivia’s relationship, which seems like it’s on the verge of being repaired following their kiss at the end of season 5. However, it’s unclear if it will drive a rift between them as they follow their separate dreams, or if it will bring them closer together. With both him and Jordan in the sights of joining professional football teams, All American appears to be coming up on a major turn for its story.
