7 Most Memorable NFL Figures on HBO's "Hard Knocks"
HBO's "Hard Knocks" always provides an interesting glimpse into the realities of an NFL preseason, including team meetings, on-field drills and downtime in hotel rooms and at home. But the "Hard Knocks" that we're going to watch in 2020 carries the most intrigue of any season to date, in my opinion, due to the fact that there are just so many unknowns surrounding the 2020 NFL season.
We've heard from several players who have given their thoughts regarding playing during the coronavirus pandemic -- including the 60-some guys who decided to opt out of the season for various reasons -- but there are also hundreds of players whose thoughts haven't been fully revealed. We'll also see how teams are dealing with preparations in an unprecedented atmosphere of social distancing, high levels of caution and a complete lack of definite plans for how the season will unfold.
But while the focus of 2020 should be and will be the COVID-19 crisis and any subsequent adjustments, I sincerely hope we still get to be entertained by some colorful characters who we may or may not have known were capable of saying and doing such ridiculous things.
Before the Tuesday night premiere, here's a look back at some of the players and coaches who made for the most memorable seasons of "Hard Knocks" ever.
