NFL Draft Documentary Coming to Roku Channel
thewrap.comFans of “Hard Knocks,” rejoice. The NFL is releasing a documentary chronicling draft weekend, the rights to which have been secured by the Roku Channel.
The doc, which has not yet been titled or given a release date, covers the league’s teams as they decide who they will select in the 2023 NFL draft, which took place last month in Kansas City. “Viewers will get an exclusive, all-access look into the high-stakes operations of four NFL teams and the League’s 2023 draft headquarters in Kansas City during one of the most significant professional sports moments of the year,” Roku said in a release announcing the documentary.The four teams set to be featured are the Carolina Panthers, who selected Bryce Young with the first pick of the draft; the Indianapolis Colts, who chose quarterback Anthony Richardson with the fourth pick of the first round; the Dallas Cowboys, who selected running back Deuce Vaughn in the 6th round, and the Jacksonville Jaguars, who made several trades during the weekend.
Roku Originals partnered with Skydance Sports and NFL Sports to produce the doc, which will air sometime before the the start of the 2023 NFL season.
NFL Sports also produced “Hard Knocks,” the long-running HBO documentary series that follows an NFL team throughout its training camp prior to the start of the season.
