LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears already figured to have plenty of eyes on them. There’ll be a few more cameras now, too.
The Bears are ready to welcome the “Hard Knocks” film crew this summer after HBO and the NFL picked the founding franchise to be featured on the training camp documentary for the first time.
“It shows that we got something brewing here,” linebacker Tremaine Edmunds said Friday. “Everybody wants to see what’s going on.”
Coach Matt Eberflus said the Bears are “excited about it” and won’t act differently with the HBO crew around.
Chairman George McCaskey long resisted having the Bears participate. But with everything they have going on, now sure seems like a good time.
There are certainly plenty of stories to tell after the Bears made some huge moves in the offseason. The most notable, of course, were drafting quarterback Caleb Williams with the No. 1 pick after trading Justin Fields and acquiring six-time Pro Bowl receiver Keenan Allen from the Los Angeles Chargers. Chicago also drafted Washington’s Rome Odunze, giving the team a deep group of wide receivers to go with the returning DJ Moore, and signed running back D’Andre Swift.
