The camera crews will capture pivotal moments from the NFL Scouting Combine to free agency, the NFL Draft, and team minicamps.

Ross Ketover, Senior Executive at NFL Films, expressed pride in the success of the "Hard Knocks" franchise, stating, "To be able to expand on the 'Hard Knocks' universe, and with an elite franchise like the Giants while they celebrate their 100th season, is a privilege for all of us at NFL Films."
