that the NFL starts training camps (rookies and veterans). . . on different dates?
This year the Seahawks, of course, started on Friday, July 31.
The Vikings and the Steelers reported first. . .both teams reported on July 25 -- a Saturday. That's understandable since they play in the Hall of Fame game on August 9, which is a week ahead of when everyone else start playing.
But the other teams start practice anywhere between July 29 (a Wednesday) and August 2 (a Sunday).
Why not just have everyone start the same day?
