In this campaign, 4 franchises are qualified to be drafted as the central point of Hard Knocks. But, till today, the National Football League still didn’t tell the public who that would be.
Last campaign, the league announced the Detroit Lions in March.
The franchises that can be chosen are the Chicago Bears, New Orleans Saints, New York Jets, and Washington Commanders.
Those teams are the ones that are left after the chosen franchise can’t have a new manager, has played in the postseason in the last 2 seasons, and any franchise that has already been the Hard Knocks club within the last 10 seasons.
Chicago even shared that they don’t want to do it. NY Jets are the fascinating selection, but the franchise from the Big Apple is also not interested like the Bears.
