Here is all the information you require for the upcoming season of “Hard Knocks.”
Who Will Feature In This Season?
The team for the year will be the New York Jets. Aaron Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP who joins the Jets after 18 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, was a huge offseason signing for the organization and is expected to play a significant role in the story.
A talented bunch of young players, including Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner, who took home last year’s offensive and defensive rookie of the year awards, are also on the roster under head coach Robert Saleh, who is in his third season with the squad. A strong defense is led by All-Pro picks C.J. Mosley and Quinnen Williams.
The Jets and NFL Films have a long and illustrious relationship, according to Patrick Kelleher, executive producer at NFL Films, who spoke to NFL.com.
This relationship dates back to the AFL’s early years and includes Joe Namath’s “#1” salute after Super Bowl III, The Sack Exchange, and the team’s first appearance on “Hard Knocks” in the middle of back-to-back AFC Championship Games.
How Are The Teams Selected?
The NFL said in 2013 that, in the event that a club refuses to take part in the show, the league may compel that team to do so. The league still favors volunteers, but if none show up, a team will be appointed.
All organizations will be eligible, with the exception of those with a first-year head coach, teams that have made the playoffs in at least one of the previous two seasons, and teams that have played in the previous ten seasons, according to an NFL.com story from 2013.
The Chicago Bears, New Orleans Saints, and Washington Commanders were additional clubs that may have participated in the 2023 season. Between 2002 and 2007, the series was off because the NFL couldn’t find a club willing to play. The NFL lockout prevented the production of the show in 2011 as well.
