The New Orleans Saints had plenty of storylines this past season. During 2024, fans could see some behind-the-scenes moments for their favorite teams as they prepare for the season. 

The Saints can be forced to do Hard Knocks during 2024 training camp. 

Hard Knocks is the annual training camp documentary partnership between HBO and NFL Films. 

The Denver Broncos and Chicago Bears are the only two other teams that could be forced to be the center of the show. 

Those are the only three teams that meet the following criteria: They don’t have a 1st-year head coach. They didn’t make the playoffs in either of the last two seasons. They haven’t appeared on Hard Knocks in the last 10 years.

A different NFL team could volunteer for the spot, but that's unlikely. Many teams are not interested in the opportunity, but the league believes in its marketing value.
