Bill Belichick and the University of North Carolina football team will be featured on the offseason edition of "Hard Knocks," FOS' Ryan Glasspiegel reported on Friday.
NBC Sports Boston's Phil Perry provided some more context on why Belichick was selected.
"Belichick has long had a good relationship with NFL Films VP/executive producer Ken Rodgers.

In January, NFL Films vice president spoke on "The Pat McAfee Show" about the challenges the show faced.
“There’s definitely a chance. We hope it’s back. We’re talking to a bunch of teams about it. But we’ll see what happens. I mean, we need a willing participant on that one. We’re not going to force someone to do that show,” Cossrow said.
