The first step in every NFL team’s preparation for the upcoming season is organized team activities (OTAs).
It’s admittedly an early step,nfl gear with players in shorts and shells, but it can be a big one, too.
It’s a chance for young players to make a first impression on their new teammates. Or an opportunity for veterans to start putting a disappointing and/or injury-marred season squarely in the rearview mirror.
Now that OTAs are starting to wrap up from Arizona to Washington, there’s no shortage of storylines and developments that have emanated from each. Some are promising…others not so much.
Here’s a look at the biggest for each team in the league.cheap nfl gear
With the Arizona Cardinals taking a cautious approach with oft-injured veteran Sam Bradford in OTAs, starting reps were opened up for No. 10 overall pick Josh Rosen.
As Darren Urban reported for the Cardinals website, first-year Arizona head coach Steve Wilks has been impressed by what he’s seen from the rookie signal-caller—with one very important caveat.

“He’s not playing like a vet. Make sure you guys nfl gear for men understand that. He’s still a rookie, OK? But he sees things, like I said before, through a different lens. And he picks it up quickly.”

But Rosen’s getting substantial reps that might not otherwise have been available were Bradford not being eased in—reps that could help shorten his learning curve and create a legitimate quarterback controversy later this summer.nfl gear cheap
