'Hard Knocks' in-season team to feature Miami Dolphins, QB Tua Tagovailoa
MIAMI -- The NFL world will get a behind-the-scenes look at Tua Tagovailoa and Miami Dolphins later this season: They will be the featured in-season team on "Hard Knocks" this fall.
The team announced its featured role on the long-running HBO and NFL Films show on Monday.
The Dolphins are one of the NFL's more interesting teams with the league's top-ranked offense led by Tagovailoa, All-Pro receiver Tyreek Hill and creative play-caller Mike McDaniel.
They are atop the AFC East with a 5-2 record as they seek their second straight playoff berth.
Miami was featured on "Hard Knocks" in 2012 under then-first-year head coach Joe Philbin. Storylines that year included then-GM Jeff Ireland calling Dolphins 2009 first-rounder Vontae Davis into his office to inform him that he was being traded to the Indianapolis Colts.
This is the third year that "Hard Knocks" has featured an in-season team — the show has typically offered a behind-the-scenes look during the preseason. The Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals were the previously spotlighted teams.
