The Bears said at Friday's OTA practice that they are ready to be in the national spotlight of Hard Knocks after years of avoiding it.
After resisting for so long, it turns out the Bears are willing participants in the upcoming training camp version of HBO's Hard Knocks.0"I think they were excited about it," Bears coach Matt Eberflus said about his players Friday at OTAs.
If there's ever been an appropriate time for the Bears to be on Hard Knocks, it seems to be now with Caleb Williams at quarterback and a rebuilt offense. "I talked to the team about that, because I’ve been involved in in that before and I believe that NFL Films and HBO does an outstanding job of getting their message out, OK, of the team, and we're going to be proud of that message, because I'm proud of these guys and I'm proud of this organization," Eberflus said.
Some players have experience with Hard Knocks. D'Andre Swift was on it in Detroit two years ago and his "tough love" relationship with running backs coach Duce Staley was a big topic.
