One of the main storylines that NFL fans followed over the offseason was the absence of New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers during mandatory minicamp.  Rodgers has opened up about where he was — a previously scheduled trip to Egypt — instead of being with his team, and he claims that he and head coach Robert Saleh are on good terms.  With training camp starting this week, we finally got a chance to hear from Rodgers about everything, and he confirmed that the team fined him for his absence. While he wouldn't detail the exact amount, No. 12 did give a hint.  When asked if the fine was for the mandatory amount of $50,000, Rodgers replied with a slight smile.

There are a couple of positions to watch closely as training camp continues. The most obvious is the quarterback battle between Sam Darnold, J.J. McCarthy, and Nick Mullens. It appears Darnold and McCarthy is the current pecking order, but from reports, it sounds like McCarthy is seeing more reps as the days go by.
During Day 2 of practice, McCarthy was seen throwing a laser to receiver Jalen Nailor, and Nailor was able to go up and bring it down. Nailor is another interesting player to watch this summer. The wide receiver three is another battle — with Brandon Powell having the inside track — but if Nailor can regularly bring in these types of catches — watch out.

It’s apparent the Vikings’ media doesn’t want to expose their No. 10 pick too much. The McCarthy hype hasn’t been overboard due to the lack of access the Vikings have put out regarding him. But this was an exciting throw and catch from the rookie to his receiver.

The deeper we look into the numbers, the more evidence we find that point-guard style play resulted in passable quarterbacking and doing too much resulted in disaster.
