Every NFL training camp is the same…and every NFL training camp is different.
The dual purpose of camp is the same whether you're in Tampa, Mankato or Oxnard: Form a 53-man roster and get ready for Week One. The beats are the same from year to year, the days are long and tiring, the fans are happy for the annual chance to see their team up close.
On the other hand, no two teams and no two seasons are the same, and thus there are different areas of emphasis in every camp. A year ago in Tampa, the Buccaneers were rebuilding their defensive end depth; this year the two safety jobs are up for grabs.
