NFL AFC Teams Begin 2025 Training Camps Focusing on Defense, Quarterback Battles

As NFL training camps begin, the focus is on key storylines around AFC teams including the Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, and New England Patriots. The Ravens boast a dynamic offense led by Lamar Jackson, with improvements expected on defense, highlighted by new additions like rookie safety Malaki Starks. The Bills rely on Josh Allen's playoff prowess but need emerging talents like Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid to step up for a Super Bowl push. The Cincinnati Bengals face scrutiny over their defense following a coaching change, while Joe Burrow leads a potent offense. For the Patriots, training camp centers on defensive line improvements with players like Keion White, Anfernee Jennings, and new addition Harold Landry aiming to boost pass rush and run defense. The Patriots' receiving corps is crowded, putting veterans like Kendrick Bourne on the roster bubble, while questions remain about the return of linebacker Matthew Williams and the development of rookie left tackle Will Campbell amid hopes for a defensive resurgence under coach Mike Vrabel.
