Early Disappointments from the 1st Week of NFL Training Camps

Disappointments exist throughout every NFL training camp, but they're not often discussed because coaching staffs want to maintain positive attitudes, at least in the public eye.

It's all a matter of perspective, though.

Overreaction to one play, especially a viral video, is foolhardy. Richard Sherman's career with the San Francisco 49ers won't be defined by this year's first training camp in pads, during which Marquise Goodwin burned the 30-year-old cornerback for a long touchdown reception. Those instances become teaching moments.

"I respect Sherm because he doesn't care," 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said, per Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio.
