Only five teams were eligible for HBO's "Hard Knocks" docuseries this year, due to the rules that teams are not required to be included if they have a first-year head coach, have made the playoffs in the past two years, or have appeared on the show in the last decade. The intrigue recently ended as to which team would be featured, with the Dallas Cowboys revealing they had been selected.

But fear not, non-Cowboys fans, as the internet and social media allow us to gain unprecedented access into the inner workings of practically every team around the world of sports. Thanks to visionaries like Philadelphia 76ers forward Matisse Thybulle, who started a docuseries of life inside the 2020 NBA Playoff bubble in Orlando, we no longer need a massive television network like HBO in order for us to follow along with our favorite players and teams.
Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry is allowing the loyal Cleveland fan base to do just that with his new YouTube docuseries, "Just Juice," which premiered late on Monday night. He had teased a "first episode" of something to kick off in July with a cool teaser trailer on Twitter, though he left exactly what it would be up to interpretation. The wait is over now, and the debut of "Just Juice" showed he and his fellow Cleveland pass-catchers — including Odell Beckham Jr., David Njoku, Rashard Higgins and Kareem Hunt — heading down to Austin, Texas to hang out with quarterback Baker Mayfield, train with him at his old stomping ground, Lake Travis High School, and have some fun out on a lake.
In the description, Landry says that he'll be posting content regularly and that fans can expect the next episode to drop in a week. If it follows the same format, we should be ready for more behind-the-scenes access of his banter with teammates, the non-team-mandated training they go through as a unit, the time they spend with each other off the field, and some great songs — perhaps TV production and music supervision is in Landry's future.
