Spencer actually helped bring the show to air and has remained a big part of the production. In an interview with the Paley Center for Media, executive produce April Blair said that she knew from the get-go that it was important for Spencer to be a part of telling his story for the CW.

"He's the heart of the show," April said. 

Spencer is listed as an executive consultant throughout the show, as well as a co-producer for three episodes at the end of Season 1. He is also currently involved in the production of the 2020 football documentary, Concussed: The American Dream, which will dig deep into head trauma and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in sports.
