When it was announced that HBO and NFL Films would cover the Rams and Chargers for this season of “Hard Knocks,” a lot of people wondered what would fill the airtime. With so much uncertainty surrounding the season due to the coronavirus, it was a worthwhile question to ask how the show would work.
Well, Jared Goff shared a sneak peek at one part of camp that will be documented on the show: COVID tests. He posted a photo from his first coronavirus test at the Rams’ facility, and right there was a camera and boom mic to document it all – from a safe distance, of course.
With the preseason canceled and training camps looking very different than a typical year, “Hard Knocks” will have to improvise this year. There won’t be joint practices to film or preseason preparation to document, making this a unique season of the show.
Goff has been outspoken about how much he dislikes “Hard Knocks” cameras always being around after his first go-around on the series as a rookie in 2016, and you can bet he’s not thrilled about crews being back this summer.
