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.

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.
