Training camp isn’t for guys like Brandon Marshall, Jared Allen or Matt Forte. Those guys are focused and ready to go right away. They also know their role on this team and aren’t concerned with anybody else behind them. 

Now, when you think about camp and the preseason you think about the last five guys in and the last five out. Who are the guys fighting to make a spot on the roster?
