What are the top stories from the 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 be in line for new deals in the coming weeks — or lingering drama if they don’t get them.
As always, there are also hectic QB competitions, highlighted by Russell Wilson vs. Justin Fields in Pittsburgh. Another one to keep an eye on is Gardner Minshew vs. Aidan O’Connell in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Maye, Nix, McCarthy and Penix will try to push the would-be starters as far as possible in their camps, and here’s a wild card: Daniel Jones vs. Drew Lock with the Giants.

DeMeco Ryans: CJ Stroud has grown as a leader
“I think CJ has done a really good job this offseason as a leader when it comes to working with other guys — knowing that he’s not just working alone, but finding ways to bring a group together and work together,” the Texans coach said. DeMeco Ryans said Thursday. “That’s really important, especially when it comes to timing in the passing game for receivers and defensive backs. They have to be in sync. And it shows that they see how important that was because the guys worked together this summer.”
