‘Hard Knocks’ begins tonight and HBO teases all-time moment from Jarvis Landry

Another season of “Hard Knocks” is set to debut on HBO on Tuesday night, and this year, the show focuses on the Cleveland Browns, who went 0-16 last season and have won only one game over the past two years.

There will be plenty of former SEC players featured on the documentary series, which has focused on one team during NFL training camp during 12 seasons since 2001. That includes former LSU wide receiver Jarvis Landry, who will apparently have a big role in Tuesday’s season premiere.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, an HBO spokesman said that Landry gives a speech that “will rank in the top five all-time for Hard Knocks.”

But Landry isn’t the only SEC alum on the Browns’ roster. Here is a full list of Cleveland players that came from schools currently in the conference:

• WR Evan Berry (Tennessee)
• DL Caleb Brantley (Florida)
• WR Antonio Callaway (Florida)
• TE Orson Charles (Georgia)
• RB Nick Chubb (Georgia)
• OL Shon Coleman (Auburn)
• P Britton Colquitt (Tennessee)
• DL Marcell Frazier (Missouri)
• DB E.J. Gaines (Missouri)
• DL Myles Garrett (Texas A&M)
• OL Avery Gennesy (Texas A&M)
• DL Zaycoven Henderson (Texas A&M)
• WR Jarvis Landry (LSU)
• WR Damion Ratley (Texas A&M)
• OL Greg Robinson (Auburn)
• DL Chris Smith (Arkansas)
