Cleveland Browns: 3 surprises from HBO premiere of ‘Hard Knocks’

The HBO series Hard Knocks premiered featuring the Cleveland Browns. Here’s the biggest surprises from the show’s first episode.

Fans finally got to premier of Hard Knocks featuring the Cleveland Browns and they weren’t left disappointed with the behind-the-scenes footage.

Carl Nassib as the breakout star

Carl Nassib,  a 2016 third-round pick pick, became the show’s breakout star, and that’s with the cameras giving extended time to players with more star power such as Baker Mayfield and Jarvis Landry.

Nassib first caught the audience’s attention by teaching players on how to handle their finances in expletive-maiden lecture.

Nassib’s hammered home the importance of collecting interest and cautioned players on the trappings of buying stupid things.

He said he almost bought a Rolex before meeting Taylor Swift before the singer’s concert at FirstEnergy Stadium last month.

He then thought better.

At a team meeting later in the show, Hue Jackson then put a picture of Nassib and Swift on the overhead projector for the entire team to see.

Later in the episode, Nassib explained to his teammates how they can waste a month of their lives by using Instagram for an hour a day, every day.

Some asked what was wrong using their free time that way and Nassib responded by saying one month out a year was lost on something when he could’ve been bettering himself.
