(WXYZ) — "Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Detroit Lions" premiered on HBO Tuesday night with much anticipation.
The episode, which was less than an hour, was jam-packed and included Head Coach Dan Campbell doing up-downs with the defense, Aidan Hutchinson singing "Billie Jean," a brotherly competition between assistant Head Coach Duce Staley and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn and more.
Fans across Detroit have been waiting for the debut, with clips being released slowly over the weekend and early this week, building excitement, and the episode did not disappoint.
We're not sure how fans will feel during this season and we're not sure how the Lions will do, but we all know they love seeing this team work and have some fun with Campbell at the helm.
Below are some of the best reactions.
I can't get enough of Deuce Staley and Aaron Glen! Give me all of it 😂😂😂 #HardKnocks #Lions

The entire Lions team singing Billie Jean along with Aidan Hutchinson is a top 10 all-time #HardKnocks moment.

Tremendous. And maybe the most electric coaching staff made of ex players we all loved

Ready to run through a wall for Dan Campbell & the Detroit Lions! #OnePride
Watched episode 1 of Hard Knocks last night and all I can say is, how can you not root for the Lions this year?

Still haven’t seen any Dan Campbell content, strong chance he becomes the most entertaining #HardKnocks character since Rex Ryan
