Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the New York Jets premise 

The idea around Hard Knocks hasn't changed since the show began in 2001 — it provides an unprecedented look inside the training camp of an NFL team, letting fans get a look at different players and coaches as they prepare for another NFL season and in some cases are fighting to make their NFL dreams come true by earning a spot on the roster. 

This year the spotlight is going to be on the New York Jets. The main attraction for many is likely the arrival of Super Bowl and NFL MVP-winning quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the team after an offseason trade, as he plays for a team other than the Green Bay Packers for the first time in his career. Rodgers joins a team that has a number of young promising players, including reigning Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the Year Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner, respectively, and more.

Here is what HBO shared about what to expect from this season:

"Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the New York Jets will mark the 18th edition of the 18-time Sports Emmy-winning series, embedding camera crews at the Jets' training camp in Florham Park, N.J., to chronicle third-year head coach Robert Saleh preparing his team of young emerging stars and prominent veterans — most notably, four-time NFL MVP, Aaron Rodgers, Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the Year Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner, and defensive All-Pros C.J. Mosley and Quinnen Williams — for the upcoming NFL season."

In addition to training camp, Hard Knocks will have special footage from the Jets' preseason games, which this year will include matchups against Cleveland Browns, the Carolina Panthers, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New York Giants.
