As pro athletes become regulars on TV and streaming (hello Jason Kelce late-night show), the league's film unit is ramping up its production, and pushing the boundaries of the sports doc format it pioneered with a new divisional concept for 'Hard Knocks.'

Shannon Furman, the lead director for HBO's "Hard Knocks," knew the Chicago Bears were close to finalizing a contract extension with receiver DJ Moore.

"Because it was happening in 'robos,'" she said.

"Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants" pulls back the curtain on the inner workings of the front office highlighted by Saquon Barkley negotiations.

Legendary football coach Bill Belichick is joining "Inside the NFL" for its second season at The CW. The new season is set to premiere on Aug. 30 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

The team behind last year's 'Quarterback' makes the most of its amazing access to the NFL's Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, Davante Adams, Justin Jefferson and Amon-Ra St. Brown.

The AFC North is ready for its close-up. The division best known for heated rivalries and star quarterbacks will be featured on the in-season edition of HBO's "Hard Knocks" TV series this season. It's the first time the Emmy Award-winning series has chronicled an entire division.

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.

The National Football League won six Sports Emmy Awards for its work across NFL Network, NFL Films, the League office and Mundo NFL.

Netflix has joined America's Team. The streamer said during its upfront today that it is teaming with Skydance Sports, NFL Films and Stardust Frames Productions on the upcoming documentary series about the Dallas Cowboys.

The Giants for the first time will be featured on "Hard Knocks," HBO's groundbreaking inside look at NFL teams. But it is not the typical "Hard Knocks" deal. This will be a new version of the show, an offseason look at the Giants, chronicling their offseason starting in January and ending in July — well in advance of training camp this summer.

Former UCLA Bruin Laiatu Latu has been in the spotlight for quite some time now. The highest-rated defender in his 2024 NFL Draft class, Latu now will be featured on NFL Films' "Hey Rookie" documentary series.

Netflix's popular "Quarterback" show is getting a sequel, with its next iteration — titled "Receiver" — featuring five star NFL pass catchers: Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and wide receiver Deebo Samuel.

Following the Chiefs' crazy comeback win over the Bills two years ago in an AFC Divisional playoff game, much was made about Buffalo's kickoff decision with 13 seconds left in regulation.

Like Taylor Swift, I have come to love football through unconventional means. I am watching Hard Knocks.

NFL Films has long been known for its peerless football documentaries. Now the production company is looking to expand outside of unscripted content, and even go past the gridiron.

Bye Bye Barry, which tells the story of hall-of-fame running back Barry Sanders, has become the streamer's most-viewed documentary movie ever in the U.S. — taking the title from Kelce, just over two months after that sports doc set the record for Prime Video.

NFL Films does an incredible job covering the game from the field. They used to shoot actual film, then switched to ARRI. But the camera tells only part of the story.

There are moments — a whole lot of moments, really — in the new documentary about Barry Sanders where you can't quite believe what you're seeing is real, archival video and not a CGI creation. Sanders moves like an acrobat, pivots like a ballerina, hammers like a cannonball, all on the same play.

Kelce, the documentary chronicling Philadelphia Eagles team captain and All-Pro center Jason Kelce's epic year leading to his Super Bowl LVII matchup against his brother Travis, is now the streamer's most-watched documentary ever in the U.S. It beat out Val for the top spot.

The New York Jets were a viewership magnet for Hard Knocks this year.

Making its debut on Prime Video Monday night, Kelce is a throwback of a sports documentary.

Roku is sticking with the NFL Draft. The streamer has renewed its sports docuseries NFL Draft: The Pick Is In for a second season, focusing on the 2024 draft.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was revealed Monday night as the best player in the NFL as voted on by his peers in NFL Network's annual countdown of the league's top 100 players.

Taking viewers into the huddle and locker room and onto the field, "Quarterback" offers a three-headed view of life in the NFL trenches that should be enticing to football fans. As it happens, though, not all play callers are created equal, with Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes easily providing the best and most entertaining company, eclipsing the mere mortals who flesh out the Netflix docuseries.

The CW has scored a pretty big get — a partnership with the NFL — as it continues to push into sports programming.
