What are the biggest storylines from 2024 NFL training camps?
The performances of first-round rookie quarterbacks including Chicago’s Caleb Williams, Washington’s Jayden Daniels, New England’s Drake Maye, Minnesota’s JJ McCarthy, Atlanta’s Michael Penix Jr. and Denver’s Bo Nix will be closely watched.
In terms of contract situations to monitor, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk could all be in line for new deals in the coming weeks — or lingering drama if they don’t get them.
As always, there will also be some very interesting quarterback competitions, most notably Russell Wilson vs. Justin Fields in Pittsburgh. Another contest to keep an eye on is Gardner Minshew vs. Aidan O’Connell in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Maye, Nix, McCarthy and Penix will all try to push the presumptive starters as much as possible in their camps, and here’s a wild card: Daniel Jones vs. Drew Lock with the Giants.
