Hard Knocks is back and Dan Campbell is the star of the first episode. Nobody expected the first episode to be this good since it was featuring the Detroit Lions who’ve been out of form forever. They had an abysmal 2021 season but I feel a comeback is on.

Dan Campbell is truly an inspiration, from his opening monologue to doing 40 up and downs with his team, the 46-year-old is inspiring his team to be better.

Coach Campbell wants to be closer to the team even if it means working out with them. NFL is a team sport and when there’s unison between the players then no one can beat you.

Dan Campbell was participating in all the workouts with the team and by looking at his dedication, you get an idea that it’s not just for the camera he’ll even do it without them.

The first episode also introduced the Lions coaching staff with all of them having lengthy playing careers. The assistant coaches were Aaron Glenn (Defensive Coordinator), Kelvin Sheppard (Linebackers Coach), Antwaan Randle El (wide receivers coach), Hank Fraley (offensive Line coach), Dutch Staley (Assistant Head Coach) and Mark Brunell (QB coach). All of these Ex NFL players have a collective experience of 72 years and not to forget the man himself coach Dan Campbell who spent a decade in the league as a Tight End. By looking at this lineup of coaches it can be understood that the Lions are serious to challenge this year.

It feels like a renaissance is taking place in the Lions camp with everyone motivated to be better. RB Jamaal Williams gave an extremely motivational speech in the episode.

“When you tired, think of last year and think of that f—— record,” Williams screams. “Every time I get tired or I say, ‘I can’t go no more,’ I think of that f—— record. That ain’t us. We can make it. We gotta believe.”

There is a sense of belief in the Lions who think this year will be different, after a set of difficult seasons the Lions are ready to bounce back and win it all or it could just be the hype created around the first episode of the Hard Knocks. We can only find out when the new season begins in September.
