With the announcement of the AFC North being the in-season “Hard Knocks” focus for HBO and NFL Films, much of the attention shifted quickly to the fact that the world will get a behind-the-scenes look in-season at Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin.
Tomlin is expected to be the star of the in-season “Hard Knocks” even above quarterbacks like Joe Burrow in Cincinnati and Lamar Jackson in Baltimore.
But for former NFL defensive lineman and longtime talking head Mike Golic, the biggest storyline for the Steelers in “Hard Knocks” will be centered on quarterback Russell Wilson and how he looks behind the scenes in the season, especially with Justin Fields potentially breathing down his neck.
