Aaron Rodgers showed up to training camp channeling Cameron Poe, Nicolas Cage’s character from the 1997 film Con Air. The white tank tucked into blue jeans, the beard, and the hair were all in place, and Rodgers even had the mannerisms down, tossing his bag down with an air of aloofness.

Russell Wilson, on the other hand, showed up with his Denver Broncos identity on full display. He wore a throwback version of his own jersey and drove a truck that looked like something from a movie; bullet proof and holding a muscle-bound action star and his team of CIA agents.

Former NFL punter and radio host Pat McAfee couldn’t help but compare the two and their differing styles.

"Both dudes look amazing obviously..One guy is wearing all of his own branded stuff, including his own jersey..Another guy… chose to dress like Nic Cage from Con Air. What I’m saying is… There’s numerous ways to do things."

For some, showing up to training camp is more than just returning to work. Players like to make a statement.

Reggie Wayne, for example, made an event out of it every season, showing up in an Indy car or helicopter. Antonio Brown is another player who made a big show of it, arriving in a hot air balloon or chauffeured classic car.

The Green Bay Packers are favored by many to win the NFC North and compete in the playoffs. This is despite losing the top-ranked wide receiver in the league in Davante Adams, who was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders. Some believe that Aaron Rodgers and the Packers' offense will still prevail.

As for the Denver Broncos, Wilson will lead a young, talented offense against an AFC West that’s loaded. The Los Angeles Chargers with Justin Herbert have added weapons to their defense; the Kansas City Chiefs are always dangerous; and the aforementioned Raiders have brought Davante Adams to give them a high-powered offense.
