3 teams that need a tell-all documentary

The Arizona Cardinals' 2015 season was captured in an eight-part series titled "All or Nothing," produced by Amazon and NFL Films. Each episode provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse into one of the league's most compelling teams, leading up to their NFC Championship Game run.

Here are three compelling teams that would also make excellent subjects for a tell-all documentary series:

Seattle Seahawks

Boasting some of the league's most candid interviews in Richard Sherman and Michael Bennett, and a progressive, fun-loving head coach in Pete Carroll, the Seahawks are born for television.

Carroll implemented themed practices upon taking over the job, with "No-Turnover Thursdays" becoming an established hit for players and media alike. With a highly motivated defense and a culture that allows any player to crack the starting lineup, every single practice would make for compelling television.

There are plenty of football-related storylines, as the Seahawks attempt to overcome Marshawn Lynch's retirement and lead the NFL in scoring defense for the fifth consecutive year. For those looking to be merely entertained, Russell Wilson's relationship with Ciara may captivate casual fans, and the team's banter will have viewers begging for more.

New England Patriots

Considering the Patriots guard the most rudimentary information like national security secrets, this would be a treat for both fans and skeptics of the team. Bill Belichick is often depicted as a ruthless disciplinarian, but a documentary ought to reveal his lighter side.

As for Tom Brady, a round-the-clock camera crew would capture the essence of a true American superstar, known for his fiery on-field demeanor and marriage to fashion icon Gisele Bundchen.

Rob Gronkowski's fun-loving attitude and penchant for parties is also an absolute delight. He could probably carry a documentary by himself, but it'll also give him an avenue to display the studious football player he's proven to be over of the course of his career.

Oakland Raiders

The Raiders may not be everyone's first choice upon initial review, but possess all the elements for a captivating series. Boasting a young core of stars in Derek Carr, Amari Cooper, and Khalil Mack, along with an engaging, Twitter-savvy head coach in Jack Del Rio, the Raiders have the potential to become appointment viewing.

Carr is on pace to become the league's next great quarterback, and few opportunities arise to see the birth of a transformative star. Building a strong rapport with Cooper and the enigmatic Michael Crabtree, along with a top-tier offensive line, the Raiders' offense are a group to keep an eye on for years to come.

Mack is on the trajectory to become the NFL's best pass-rusher, but not much else is known about the team's emerging superstar. Privy to the early stages of a perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate, the Raiders are here to just win, baby, and there's nothing America likes more than a champion.
