The training camp time is here which means that another season of HBO’s Hard Knocks is about to commence. The cameras will be up and rolling on the Detroit Lions this time as they are all set to be featured in the annual NFL Films production Hard Knocks. It is going to be an interesting time for the Lions, but will it be the same for the viewers?

The NFL is building up enough hype for the 2022 season. With bizarre trades happening in the league, fans are looking forward to the season opener already. However, the Hard Knocks announcement wasn’t taken up very well. NFL fans recently unloaded their reactions to the announcement of the season 18 team.

Of all the 32 teams, the NFL Films production was left with just three available options: Lions, Jets, or Panthers. The NFL and HBO finally chose the Lions since it was the most entertaining out of the three, mostly because of the head coach Dan Campbell. Campbell is known to make inciting speeches with uncanny quotes on ‘biting kneecaps’.

“We are excited about the opportunity to showcase the City of Detroit and the amazing culture we are building at the Lions,” said Detroit Lions president and CEO Rod Wood. “HBO Sports and NFL Films are the best of the best and we know they will be excellent partners in sharing our story with football fans around the world.”

The season will have five episodes and is scheduled to debut on the 9th of August, but the fans already feel disappointed with it. They seem least interested in knowing about a team that finished with a 3-13-1 record the previous season and struggles throughout the campaign.

With a roster that is in its second year of rebuild and a staff littered with former NFL players, the Hard Knocks will surely have an interesting season in Detroit.
