## Resource

Hard Knocks is getting a major upgrade—this time, it’s following an entire NFL division, not just one team. If you’re rooting for the Texans, you’ll need to hope the AFC South gets picked. That opens the door to some jaw-dropping behind-the-scenes drama: the chaotic Deshaun Watson trade negotiations, Jack Easterby’s meteoric rise and fall, and the baffling hiring of David Culley—all moments that would’ve made for must-watch TV under the show’s microscope.
