The smell of fresh cut grass means only one thing to many fans across the country…Training Camp. NFL teams all around the league have taken to their respective fields to begin the process of a new season. Storylines will be popping up all over the place as players get settled into camp. New and old faces will fight it out for a spot on each team’s roster.
The biggest story from the past offseason would easily be the arrival of Peyton Manning in Denver. Manning will try to follow the massive footsteps of John Elway, as expectations have been set extremely high. Meanwhile, Manning’s departure left a Hall-of-Fame size hole in Indianapolis.

Andrew Luck has become the savior for the fans in Indy, but only time will tell how the young QB can stack up to his predecessor.

The fallout from Manning arriving in Denver landed in New York. Tim Tebow was moved to the Jets after Manning became the play caller from the Broncos.

The Giants will try to repeat as Super Bowl champions in New Orleans, while Dallas will look to regain some notoriety as a winning team. Not to mention, the biggest story in the division resides with Washington. Will RGIII live up to the hype? Is he an NFL capable quarterback? Can he possibly be worse than Rex Grossman? Ok, well at least we know the answer to one of the questions surrounding training camp….
