"Hard Knocks" is a sports documentary series produced by NFL Films and HBO that follows a single NFL team through training camp, and provides a view of the team's preparation for the upcoming season. The show gives the viewer a chance to see some of their favorite athletes outside of the typical locker room interviews.
The first six seasons of the show featured teams such as the Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys (twice), Cincinnati Bengals, Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets. The show obtained very high ratings as each season came and went.
Tampa Bay is an interesting team to be on the show this year, as they are coming off a very surprising 10-6 season in which they just missed out on the playoffs. Head Coach Raheem Morris is a very outgoing and outspoken coach who is not afraid to say it as he sees it.
Quarterback Josh Freeman is coming off a very successful season, and should be preparing for another impressive one. Receiver Mike Williams and running back LeGarrette Blount are both youth talented athletes who are looking to build off of last seasons impressive stats.
The Buccaneers have a lot of talent on their team, and high hopes for the upcoming season. They play in a tough division, though, which will make it more difficult for them to make the playoffs.
The Bucs have the twentieth overall pick in this years draft, where they will more than likely draft a defensive player like Justin Houston from Georgia, or Cameron Jordan from California.
No deal has currently been finalized for the HBO series, but a decision is expected later in the spring.
