Who’s eligible for Hard Knocks in 2021?

https://www.profootballnetwork.com/hard-knocks-2021-5-eligible-teams-for-hbo-nfl-training-camp-show/

1. Dallas Cowboys

2. New York Giants

3. Denver Broncos

4. Arizona Cardinals

5. Carolina Panthers

A 2021 appearance on Hard Knocks by the Carolina Panthers could turn second-year head coach Matt Rhule into a superstar. He possesses an infectious personality that appears to resonate well with both players and the media. HBO’s crew may also hone in on the trade for Sam Darnold instead of drafting a quarterback and what that means for the franchise (and Darnold).

The Panthers also have a few potential defensive stars in pass rusher Brian Burns and safety Jeremy Chinn. It would be interesting to see if they can pull some personality from a few young playmakers on the roster.

Jacksonville Jaguars (Bonus team)

I thought teams with 1st year head coaches weren’t allowed to be chosen? That would exclude the Jags since Urban is taking over this year.

Dallas has to be the choice for ratings.

The writer of the atricle added the Jaguars. I don't think they're actually in the running for it

They can still do it, they just can’t be forced into doing it.

Gotta be Jacksonville, right?  With Lawrence, Meyer and The Golden Calf of Bristol-mania in town I can't see how HBO would pass up that opportunity.  Although I think we are probably a close second.  Id love to see us on the show.  Amazons All-In was awesome when we were on it.

 

Edit:  Actually I was not aware that teams with first year coaches were ineligible to be on the show, so maybe we really will land it?

Sorry, does anyone actually fuggin' care about Hard Knocks? Has any team actually benefited from the exposure?

I enjoy hard knocks, and I dont think im one of a few. It is pretty awesome to see what happens in the locker rooms and behind the scenes of an NFL franchise.

Every team is "eligible."  But if no team volunteers to do it, the NFL can force a team to do it.  They said to eliminate yourself from being forced to do it, you either need to have a 1st year head coach or have made the playoffs in one of the last couple of years.

    • Not sure if they are happy but realize they can’t upgrade everything this year and are content with the group
    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
