Players may not love having “Hard Knocks” cameras around all the time during training camp, but the crew at NFL Films does a great job capturing moments that would’ve otherwise gone unnoticed.
Like this clip of the Rams’ defensive linemen fighting a beetle on the practice field when it came too close to Michael Brockers. It took four big men to take the buzzing insect down, with Greg Gaines finishing it off after Sebastian Joseph-Day slapped it to the ground.
Who would win: The entire @RamsNFL D-Line, or one beetle? 🥊#HardKnocksNow pic.twitter.com/T94Loa2dAf

Let’s not overlook the fact that Aaron Donald, who’s never afraid of a challenge, retreated quickly after the beetle came too close to his head. Donald strikes fear in linemen across the league, but it seems beetles might be his kryptonite.
