Netflix announces 'Sign Stealer' documentary featuring Connor Stalions

Netflix has announced that they will be releasing a documentary centered around Michigan football’s sign stealing scandal, featuring Connor Stalions telling his side of the story.

Stalions was the primary scapegoat for the sign stealing scandal which plagued Michigan during its 2023 national championship season. Now, less than a year after such a crazy story went down, Netflix will spotlight it as part of their Untold series for this year in an episode called “Sign Stealer” which will first hit screens on Aug. 27 — and it stars none other than Stalions himself explaining his side of the story.

In a tweet announcing several different coming episodes of Untold, Netflix shared that a Stalions-driven doc will be involved, writing: “Sign Stealer (Aug 27): Connor Stalions shares his side of Michigan’s alleged sign-stealing scheme that turned him into a viral villain.”

Untold has addressed a variety of unique sports stories in the past. They revisited the infamous Malice at the Palace brawl involving the Pacers and Pistons, including the season-long suspension of a man who would later be named Metta World Peace after he punched fans and trampled into the stands to attempt to fight others.

The series has also covered Caitlyn Jenner’s life and Olympic career, the bizarre fake girlfriend fiasco with Manti Te’o, the NBA sports betting scandal involving referees, Jake Paul’s boxing career — just all kinds of stuff.

The last time Stalions made public comments of major consequence, he was giving a statement alongside his resignation. He issued a few words and wasn’t bitter over the way his time with the Wolverines had come to an end:

“I love the University of Michigan and its football program and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity I’ve had to work with the incredible student athletes, Coach Harbaugh and the other coaches that have been a part of the Michigan football family during my tenure. I do not want to be a distraction from what I hope to be a championship run for the team, and I will continue to cheer them on.”

Stalions was investigated by the NCAA after reports arose of the Michigan staff sign-stealing against opponents. Stalions allegedly bought tickets to four different campus games of four College Football Playoff contenders the previous season.

Prior to Stalions’ resignation, coaches and and athletic directors from across the Big Ten went to conference commissioner Tony Pettiti urging him to discipline Michigan for the ugly scandal. Shortly afterwards, Stalions wound up out of a job.
