The road to Super Bowl XLIX begins Sunday in Pittsford, N.Y., where the Buffalo Bills will hold their first full-squad practice of training camp.
They're the first NFL team to open camp, with the New York Giants — the Bills' opponent in the Aug. 3 Hall of Fame Game, allowing both teams to start early — kicking off Tuesday and the other 30 teams over the next week.
Every team has questions this time of year, here are 10 notable story lines to monitor during the preseason:
Manziel Mania
Forget the inflatable swan, money phone and other offseason social media sensations: It's football time for Johnny Manziel, who has the best chance of any rookie quarterback to start in Week 1. The Cleveland Browns have made it clear the job belongs to Brian Hoyer, a 28-year-old journeyman with four NFL starts who is coming off knee reconstruction surgery. But it's only a matter of time before Manziel gets the chance to prove his elite improv skills can translate to the pro game and lift the NFL's most tormented franchise. A Tim Tebow-worthy news media throng will document Manziel's every move on the field — and hey, better there than a nightclub bathroom.
