NFL training camp starts towards the end of July, which means players around the league are getting their last bits of offseason work in before the real work of trying to make the roster begins.

It’s been a parity-filled division since 2015, with each of its four teams — the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams (both thrice), the Seattle Seahawks (twice) and the Arizona Cardinals (once) — locking down the top spot in that time. The 49ers won their second division crown …
