NFL Films VP and “Hard Knocks” showrunner Ken Rodgers pulls back the curtain on how the popular, long-running HBO documentary show will capture the team coming together in Napa. From Jon Gruden to Antonio Brown to Mike Mayock and Derek Carr and even Richie Incognito, there are plenty of great personalities and storylines to explore, with 20 cameras to capture it all this preseason. Rodgers’ team must then turn 350 hours of footage into a one-hour show for five straight weeks. It’s an intense production process that will give fans unique access to the Raiders as they start one final season in Oakland before moving to Las Vegas. Rodgers gives great insight into how the show works and some clues about why the Raiders were the perfect team to showcase this preseason.
