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)

KOD incoming if so.....

I think it should be either Jaguars or Panthers (not saying it will be between these two)

Jags probably are the most interesting with the easy storylines to push 

1.  Urban

2. Trevor

3.  The Golden Calf of Bristol

True!

They could also use us to beef up the week 1 matchup against the Jets.

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 have a new coaching staff. I think that eliminates them?

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?

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.
