How do you know the NFL season is almost back? The start of HBO's Hard Knocks is the first tease of the start of a new season.

Episode 1 covered the team's arrival to training camp at St. John Fisher College, put a particular spotlight on the Bills' superstar quarterback, and notably did not touch on the contract dispute between the team and standout running back James Cook that's provided headlines over the last several days.

In a really nice twist, there is plenty of discussion on veteran cornerback Tre'Davious White, who returned to the Bills this offseason. He has long been a fan favorite in Buffalo for years, but in a slight spoiler, White is portrayed very well in Episode 1. It's hard not to like him, as expected.
