As the Panthers prepare to return for training camp, the rookie class is riding a bond that has carried them throughout the offseason and will continue to do so into the season. 

The 49ers are in transition, after paying quarterback Brock Purdy this offseason, and watching a number of stars and key players head the other direction.

With their top nine blockers from last year back, the Panthers have the rare opportunity for continuity, and to improve on last year's radical improvement.

The Saints have a whole new look this year, with a new coaching staff and a quarterback competition which is likely led by a second-round rookie in Tyler Shough.
