Mandatory minicamp begins for 10 NFL teams today. The reality is that this stage of the calendar has little bearing on the eventual careers of rookies across the league but there are some with a bit more to prove as veterans and rookies come together for the first time.
Here is a look at eight players with the most to prove in mandatory minicamps:
1. QB Bo Nix, Broncos (Round 1, No. 12 overall)
There is little more that can be said about Denver’s selection of Bo Nix. The organization has made a steep investment in the player and desperately needs him to be a success and set a positive trajectory for the next decade-plus. It is a difficult division to rise quickly, considering the presence of quarterbacks Justin Herbert and Patrick Mahomes.
T’Vondre Sweat is going to be under a microscope following his DWI arrest shortly before the draft. Tennessee did a lot of independent research on the player and felt comfortable picking him at the top of his range, but that does not change the fact that all eyes will be on him until he establishes a line of personal credit in the NFL. Fortunately for him, he will be lining up next to Jeffery Simmons, who has overcome his own youthful adversity.
First and foremost, where will Jordan Morgan play? If it is left tackle as presumed, then he will be competing with incumbent starter Rasheed Walker to replace successful veteran David Bakhtiari. Green Bay introduced itself as an emerging contender in the NFC last season as its youth began to come of age. If the Packers can get reliable play at left tackle, then there are not many blemishes on that roster.
