HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks’ to feature three former Penn State Football players

There’s no doubt that Hard Knocks has become a staple for NFL fans across the country. The one-hour, weekly show on HBO gives viewers an in-depth look at an NFL training camp each season through its five episodes.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter has announced that this year’s Hard Knocks team will be the Oakland Raiders. For Penn State football fans, they’re in luck, as former Nittany Lions Jason Cabinda, Saeed Blacknall, and Koa Farmer are all currently on the Raiders’ 90-man roster.

Cabinda, an inside linebacker, finished his Penn State career with 286 career tackles, good for ninth on the all-time list.
