At long last, a most unique Hard Knocks season has reached the finish line. The 15th edition of HBO's docuseries featured no preseason games, limited physical contact during practice and perhaps more focus on larger societal issues than any season that came before it. But to send viewers into the 2020 regular season, Tuesday night's finale stuck to the tried-and-true script: roster cuts.
The previous four Hard Knocks episodes endeared a cast of hopefuls to viewers: Dont'e Deayon, Juju Hughes and Clay Johnston of the Rams; and Darius Bradwell and Breiden Fehoko of the Chargers.
