NFL Training Camp Notebook: Here’s What We’re Learning at Every Stop, From the Cowboys to the Patriots and More

This summer, Yahoo Sports senior NFL reporters Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein are traveling to training camps across the country. At each stop, they’ll take notes on the quarterback, a rookie to watch, what they’re keeping a close eye on, a fantasy idea, what they saw that was interesting, and a wild card for good measure.

Here are their observations in order of presence, which will be updated over the weeks. Click on the team name to access the full notebook.

Buy CJ Stroud for MVP. The offense is loaded with riches and Stefon Diggs’ honeymoon is in full swing. There’s also reason to believe the defense has improved, especially with a second-round addition who’s already impressing. Charles Robinson

What to expect now that Jordan Love is signed: More aggressive play from Matt LaFleur, who admitted to me he was too conservative early last year. Wide receiver space and a strong backfield duo in Josh Jacobs and AJ Dillon should help. -Jori Epstein

With a vastly improved offensive line (if healthy) and depth in the backfield, Matthew Stafford could have the best running game of his Rams tenure at his disposal.

I raised an eyebrow when Dak Prescott paused for a long time, then said, “I’ll say it. I want to be here, but when you look at it, every other quarterback I’ve watched has played for teams other than their first. … It’s not something to be afraid of.” Also: Team owner Jerry Jones opening his press conference by answering a question about a paternity suit was … crazy. Cowboys, baby. — Charles Robinson

The Bears named Caleb Williams the starter a few months ago. That immediately allowed him to command the offense. Williams’ creative arm angles and scrimmage drills look fluid, but he doesn’t escape the pocket too early. CB Jaylon Johnson told me it wasn’t a case of happy feet.
