FOCUSED COMPETITION
There will be an ever-important quarterback battle taking place between Ryan Mallett and Brian Hoyer. There will also be a war in the trenches to replace Chris Myers at center, and the wide receivers will all be clawing for reps and rankings.
What will you be more focused on during OTAs and the upcoming training camp? Who are you most interested to see develop and earn a starting role for this season?
