Football is back, and with it comes another edition of “Hard Knocks.”

The HBO and NFL Films series is set to return for its 17th season, and it will be featuring a team that has never appeared on the show.

This year, viewers will get a behind-the-scenes look at the Detroit Lions as the team progresses through training camp and the preseason in preparation for the 2022 NFL season.

Here’s everything you need to know about the latest edition of “Hard Knocks.” 

Which team is being featured on ‘Hard Knocks’ in 2022?

The Lions will be making their “Hard Knocks” debut after finishing with the NFL’s second-worst record in 2021 at 3-13-1. But the team was much more competitive than their record showed under first-year head coach Dan Campbell, who is primed to be a “Hard Knocks” star. Just check out this speech Campbell delivered to the team in a teaser clip of the show:

Now, Campbell and Co. will look to take a step forward as they welcome in a pair of highly touted first-round rookies in defensive end Aidan Hutchinson and wide receiver Jameson Williams.
