Josh Allen determined not to let 'Hard Knocks' cameras become distraction for Bills in training camp

Paul Pierce shares his take on the Josh Allen vs. Patrick Mahomes debate, reacting to the idea that Allen should still be ranked higher despite an 0–4 playoff record against Mahomes.

During the NFL annual league meeting in April, the league changed its rule that allowed teams making the playoffs to avoid HBO’s "Hard Knocks."

Enter the Buffalo Bills, who will be the featured team during "Hard Knocks: Training Camp" in just a couple of weeks as teams get prepared to head to their respective facilities to gear up for the new year. 

It’s the first time since the show debuted in 2001 that the Bills will be featured, and quarterback Josh Allen, the reigning MVP after a tremendous 2024 campaign, knows it’s going to be a different feeling with cameras all around when he gets back to Buffalo.

While speaking with Fox News Digital on behalf of Natrol, the drug-free sleep-aid brand he partnered with, Allen explained how he understands the excitement around watching the Bills get ready for a season. 

However, there is one main priority that must be above all else in terms of HBO and NFL Films cameras being around. 

"First and foremost, cannot let it become a distraction," Allen said. "Got to keep the main thing, the main thing, and that’s trying to be the best we can be on the field. Making sure we’re doing everything right, and not letting the cameras distract us. I think that’s going to be a sign of a good team."
