By now, HBO’s NFL training camp show Hard Knocks has become a staple of sports programming every late summer. In 2022, we were delighted to watch Dan Campbell’s Detroit Lions prepare for their season with more than a few noteworthy moments that would’ve otherwise been under wraps without a TV camera present.

And they haven’t participated in the program in a decade.
