It’s been about six months since the Los Angeles Rams won the Super Bowl and, already, the NFL offseason is coming to a close. After an offseason of dramatic QB moves, a big-money free agency period, a few weddings and one very notable un-retirement, training camps are opening and players are reporting to their teams.
Before starting jobs are decided and Super Bowl contenders begin their title quests, players need to ace the arrival to training camp.
Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers knows the assignment. He arrived in Green Bay going full Cameron Poe.

The look prompted a prop bet from Caesars Sportsbook.

The reigning NFL MVP has a flair for drama and unique looks. Over the past few seasons, that has meant arriving to camp with big sunglasses or gnarly mustaches.

It didn’t take long for former Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah to show love to his new QB. Uzomah, in his first year with the New York Jets, donned a shirt featuring Zach Wilson to camp.

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Darius Leonard, now going by his middle name, Shaquille, arrived at Colts Camp in a sweet pickup truck and rocking a “Stranger Things” alternate jersey from the Indiana Fever.
