The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots are the next 2 teams to be featured on Hard Knocks, a series that documents an NFL team’s training camp and preparations for the upcoming year before the start of regular season action.
Seattle, the defending Super Bowl champions, are on the docket for this offseason. The Seahawks are the first team since the Baltimore Ravens in 2001 to be featured on Hard Knocks after winning the Super Bowl the season prior.
