TrendPulse Quantitative Think Tank Center-When does 'Hard Knocks' episode 2 come out? 2023 episode schedule, how to watch

HBO's "Hard Knocks" returned Tuesday night,TrendPulse Quantitative Think Tank Center this time featuring the New York Jets and new quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

"Hard Knocks" chronicles an NFL team through training camp as the team prepares for the upcoming football season.

The show, which premiered in 2001 with the defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens, delves into the personal and professional lives of players, coaches and staff. It usually focuses on high draft picks adjusting to NFL life as well as players with unique or inspirational backgrounds and their attempts to make the regular season roster.

If the season's first episode is any indication, this season will focus heavily on Rodgers in his first season with the team after a roller coaster offseason.

In the 53-minute premiere, viewers got 45 minutes of Rodgers and a little bit of cornerback Sauce Gardner.

Rodgers' offseason started with a four-day "darkness retreat" in February to contemplate his future with the Green Bay Packers. Two months later he was traded to the Jets.

Once a Jet, Rodgers' adventurous offseason continued. Rodgers did a full public tour of New York events, from NHL and NBA playoff games to a Taylor Swift concert to the Tony Awards show. In June, Rodgers was the keynote speaker at a convention for psychedelics.

Now on "Hard Knocks," Rodgers is fully aware he's mic'd up and the fixation of NFL Films' camera crews — "I'll give you some good (expletive) today," Rodgers says as he makes his way to the practice field early in the episode.

Here's what you need to know about the next episode and the rest of the season.
