Admittedly, I haven't been the biggest fan of Roback throughout this year's run of "Hard Knocks" -- mostly because he has seemed like a frat boy caricature more than an actual, real life person. However, I felt like I watched a boy turn into a man during the finale, and, as someone without children, I was proud of my large adult son.
School of Hard Knocks
Roback never really had much of a chance of making the Browns ' roster. He was an undrafted rookie fourth-string quarterback and his primary duty during camp was making sure the other quarterbacks had snacks. Not usually a great sign. However, after weeks of frustration over not being able to get game snaps, Roback finally got a chance to prove himself and play in the Browns' final preseason contest.
He took advantage, tossing a touchdown pass and earning a dramatic slo-mo moment.

The happiest moment of PFTCommenter 's life: Brogan Roback throwing a dramatic touchdown set to the tune of the HardKnocks theme. Roback's girlfriend also got plenty of play during the final episode, as she was mic'd up in the stands and extremely emotional as her puppy dog boyfriend finally got a bone. It was, dare I say, very cute. In the end, Roback still didn't make the cut. But the coaching staff seemed rather pleased with the way he handled himself during camp, and I was rather impressed by his ability to win me over in the final episode.
It was somewhat unsettling to see him pivot from dimwitted goofball to sincere professional so quickly, but it felt like a coming-of-age underdog tale.
I'm very hesitant to trust people who put so much emphasis on reading into rocks, stars, moons, etc. However, the finale brought back a focus on Cajuste's relationship with his father and their overwhelmingly warm love for one another.

The bond between the two has provided some of this season's most emotional moments, and they saved a few more for the final episode. Cajuste's father couldn't make it out to the Browns' final preseason game because of his health issues, but HBO still managed to keep tabs on the father-son dynamic by capturing their phone calls and sending a crew to Papa Cajuste's house as he watched his son try to secure a job in the preseason finale.
Ultimately, it didn't happen, as Cajuste was axed in final roster cuts.

But, in true form, both he and his dad managed to tap into an endless fountain of positivity, sure that better things were to come. Who knows if they're right -- it seems like Cajuste has significant work to do before he's ready to be an NFL tight end -- but I wish I could be as positive about anything as they are about literally everything.
