The Chicago Bears are set to be the focus of HBO’s summer “Hard Knocks,” which will chronicle their training camp and preseason heading into the 2024 season.
But before the Bears take the spotlight in August, HBO has been highlighting the New York Giants in the first offseason edition of the show, bringing NFL fans into the front office during free agency, the NFL draft and everything in between.
During the second episode, which aired Tuesday, Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams made a brief cameo, where met with the Giants at the NFL Scouting Combine.
In the interview, head coach Brian Daboll posed an interesting question to Williams: If you could run one pass play repeatedly in a game, what would it be? And Williams proceeded to draw it up on the whiteboard.
you get ONE pass play
you have to run that ONE play EVERYTIME there is a pass play
so if there are 70 plays in a game, and 45 passes, you have to run this ONE play 45 times
know the play you want??? pic.twitter.com/2lLpYlXwi2

The latest episode of “Hard Knocks” offseason showcased that the Giants were very much exploring drafting a quarterback this year. But Williams was never an option for them. Not really. While Williams met with a number of teams at the NFL Combine, he had just one top 30 visit — with the Bears, who selected him first overall (although it was all but a lock for well over a month).
This was just a quick glimpse at what we can expect when the “Hard Knocks” cameras start rolling in just a couple of weeks at Halas Hall, where the NFL world is going to be seeing a lot of Caleb Williams ahead of the 2024 season.
