One of the most exciting times of the sports year for hardcore football fans is every August when NFL training camp rolls around and HBO’s Hard Knocks gets released. It marks the start of football season, and as we see players crack pads and learn the stories of new guys in the league, we know that the glorious weekends that are filled with wall-to-wall coverage of football and constant checking of fantasy scores are not far off.

This year, Oregon Duck fans will get a little boost in that month of August as well, with it being announced that the Detroit Lions are going to be featured as this year’s team.

As every Oregon fan knows, it was the Lions who drafted former Ducks’ legend Penei Sewell early in the first round last season, making him one of the young premiere tackles in the game.

It will also be interesting to see what high-profile rookie the Lions have to show off, since they have the No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft this season. There’s an outside chance that they could take someone like Oregon’s Kayvon Thibodeaux, but it seems like his stock has fallen well below that point unfortunately.

Regardless, it will be fun to tune into HBO on Sunday nights and get a glimpse at a Pro Duck doing his thing at the next level. From now until then, we will be looking forward to August.

Lions to be featured on HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks’ in 2022

#NFCNorth news: #Detroit #Lions to be featured on #HBO’s #HardKnocks in 2022

The Philadelphia Eagles have a young, rebuilding team thatā€™s worthy of being featured on the critically acclaimed docuseries, HBO’s Hard Knocks, NFL training camp.

Based on the agreed-upon terms between the clubs and league that went into effect in 2014, NFL teams can avoid mandatory inclusion on Hard Knocks if they fall under any of three exemptions:

They have a first-year head coach.
They have a playoff berth in the past two seasons.
They have appeared on Hard Knocks in the past 10 years.

Philadelphia meets the standards, but they wonā€™t be participating.

According to Adam Schefter the Detroit Lions will be featured on the 2022 installment of HBOā€™s ā€œHard Knocksā€.

Detroit just confirmed the news.

Detroit returns Jared Goff at quarterback, the No. 2 overall pick and one of the youngest rosters in the NFL.

Get a quick preview of HBO’s Hard Knocks with a featured clip starring Micah Parsons

In the month of August, those Rookies who have received the opportunity to be a part of an NFL roster have to show what they are made of to be one of the 53 players on the main roster for the upcoming season. Among those league’s rookies this summer is none other than former Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons. The world is about to get a behind-the-scenes look at how Parsons is handling his first taste of being in the NFL.

Parsons was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the first round of the 2021 draft, and he has already created some highlights in his first preseason experience last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But now, fans will get to see some new angles of Parsons’ first days in the league with HBO’s Hard Knocks.

The season debut of Hard Knocks is set for Tuesday night, and Parsons will be one of the main storylines. NFL Films served up a preview of the episode focusing on Parsons.

HBO will follow Micah Parsons and his new team on Hard Knocks

Penn State’s Micah Parsons is expected to be featured on HBO’s award-winning Hard Knocks this summer.

[mm-video type=video id=01f9m03844ajh4zhbhq6 playlist_id=01ey902ehrs6e9bvhw player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01f9m03844ajh4zhbhq6/01f9m03844ajh4zhbhq6-5dc1fbaca77135098814a311c53a90ca.jpg]

Former Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons is preparing for his rookie season in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys, and there is a good possibility we will get some inside looks at Parsons in training camp this summer. HBO announced this week it will follow the Dallas Cowboys for this year’s edition of Hard Knocks, the critically-acclaimed series taking a behind-the-scenes look at life in NFL training camp.

The Cowboys, love them or hate them, certainly have a lot going on for them in terms of interest. Penn State fans will be eager to see Parsons profiled as much as possible as the Cowboys’ No. 12 overall draft pick. Parsons is being set up to be the franchise linebacker for years to come, essentially taking the torch from former Penn State linebacker Sean Lee after Lee’s retirement.

But the Cowboys also have former Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott and former Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott. Prescott’s story will be particularly noteworthy as he returns from his season-ending injury from last year. Prescott’s injury is largely blamed for the Cowboys not capitalizing on a dreadful NFC East Division.

The Cowboys also have a new head coach running the team in former Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy.

How much of Parsons we see remains to be seen, but he will certainly be among the storylines the HBO cameras will be focusing on this year.

Hard Knocks: The Dallas Cowboys will premiere on August 2010. Parsons and the Cowboys will help kickoff the 2021 NFL Season as the road team in the league’s Thursday night opener against the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 9.

A former Badger will be on this year’s edition of HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks’

Now it’s really starting to feel like football season is just around the corner

It was reported today that this year’s edition of HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks,’ a show detailing one NFL team’s preseason training camp, will travel to Dallas, Texas and focus on the Dallas Cowboys.

The series figures to be immense entertainment, with Jerry Jones and Mike McCarthy looking to bring the Cowboys back from a rough 2020 season.

But for Wisconsin fans, there is another reason to watch: former Badger Tyler Biadasz projects to be the team’s starting center and will be featured on the show.

Biadasz played 12 games last season for the Cowboys, starting four of them. He and the rest of the Cowboys should help HBO present a fascinating few weeks of television starting in a little over a month.

Dallas Cowboys to be featured on HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks’ in 2021

NFC East news: Dallas Cowboys to be featured on HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks’ in 2021

The Eagles firing of Doug Pederson signaled a rebuild for the franchise and another chance to avoid being featured on the critically acclaimed docuseries, HBO’s Hard Knocks, NFL training camp.

Based on the agreed-upon terms between the clubs and league that went into effect in 2014, NFL teams can avoid mandatory inclusion on Hard Knocks if they fall under any of three exemptions:

They have a first-year head coach.
They have a playoff berth in the past two seasons.
They have appeared on Hard Knocks in the past 10 years.

The first-year head coach and 2019 playoff birth assured that Jeffrey Lurie’s team could avoid the scrutiny, but one big named NFC East club will now get the nod according to Adam Schefter.

The league just confirmed the announcement.

With Dak Prescott returning from injury, the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones will be featured.

Prescott has his contract, while players like Ezekiel Elliott, Amari Cooperļ»æ, Michael Gallup, and CeeDee Lambļ»æ ensure a ton of star power.

Look for former Penn State star linebacker Micah Parsons to become the star of training camp.

This season, HBO’s Hard Knocks is following the training camp of the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers. Former Wisconsin tackle and current Rams’ backup guard David Edwards has made a hilarious first appearance on the show.

The clip that made it’s way to Badgers’ and Rams’ social media shows Edwards struggling to get the last few sips out of his drink. It may be something a little bit silly, but some lighthearted Wisconsin Football content is nice to see right now.

Look out for former Badgers offensive linemen Rob Havenstein of the Rams and Ryan Groy of the Chargers, as they may also make an appearance this year on Hard Knocks. It is nice to see some former Badgers get nationwide recognition from Hard Knocks, like with Alec Ingold and the Las Vegas Raiders in last year’s series.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert believed to ‘steal the show’ on ‘Hard Knocks’

Hard Knocks will feature a handful of characters on the Chargers, but Justin Herbert could end up being the star of the show.

The Chargers will appear on HBO’s Hard Knocks along with the Rams starting on Aug. 11.

While many fans are eager to see notable players with polarizing personalities like safety Derwin James, wide receiver Keenan Allen, defensive end Melvin Ingram and running back Austin Ekeler, there’s always a player or two that steals the spotlight without them expecting it.

For NFL Media’s Nate Burleson, he believes that first-round pick Justin Herbert will be the star of the five-episode series. Burleson explained on an episode of Good Morning Football why he believes the former Oregon product will garner all the attention.

“Heā€™s the new draft pick, he has the hair, and rookieā€™s tend to steal the show,” Burleson said. “And you know what? Thereā€™s going to be more camera on Justin Herbert than any other quarterback. Because we’re familiar with the other quarterbacks. I think weā€™re going to get to know Justin Herbert a little bit better and heā€™s not going to let us down.ā€

Herbert may not have the lively personality like other players on the team, but seeing how he is around his teammates and his overall demeanor will be monitored because he was not naturally inclined to be a vocal player in college. He knows that will have to change, though.

ā€œTo be a successful team, you have to have a quarterback thatā€™s himself. Heā€™s got to be genuine and real, and needs to demand from his offense and from the team what he needs to get out of them. Iā€™ve done a better job of being vocal, stepping up and stepping out of my comfort zone,” Herbert said.

The quarterback competition between Herbert and Tyrod Taylor will be one of the biggest storylines to follow. While Taylor is in the driver’s seat, the rookie is still expected to push him for the starting job.
