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

Sad times for Hue Jackson

If you didn’t know going into the premier of Hard Knocks, Hue Jackson’s brother and mother died within weeks of each other.

Even with the presence of a camera in his office, Jackson couldn’t hide the raw emotion that was taking its toll on his soul.

And one of the realest moments of the show came as Jackson sat in his chair, alone, sobbing over the loss of his loved ones.

However, one hour later, there the coach was, on the practice field, barking orders and running the show like nothing ever happened.

We all deal with immense amounts of pressure in our lives and a critical time in Jackson’s life is taking center stage.

He’s fighting to save his career all the while his family dramatically changed within weeks.
