PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The Detroit Lions will be the featured team on the 2022 training camp version of "Hard Knocks, according to an announcement made Monday by HBO and NFL Films to league owners at their annual meeting.
Based on NFL rules for ensuring cooperation with the show, the Lions were one of three teams that could not turn down an invitation. The other two were the Carolina Panthers and New York Jets.
A major part of the Lions' allure is coach Dan Campbell, whose colorful press conferences and unique aphorisms brought levity and interest to his 3-13 debut with the Lions' last season.
