Will Zellers enters Bruins rookie camp with a chance to showcase speed and offensive instincts against stronger competition; a strong weekend at the Buffalo Prospects Showcase could influence how Boston views his development, even though it won’t guarantee a NHL roster spot.

Jets rookie minicamp offered a taste of a new offense under Frank Reich with Cade Klubnik taking most QB reps and learning to operate within configured buckets, while edge rusher David Bailey showed versatility to play outside linebacker in a 3-4 and defensive end in a 4-3 alongside Will McDonald. The team is weighing veteran QB options (including Russell Wilson) but has not committed, and other highlights included D’Angelo Ponds’ early impressions, a kicking competition among Krieg, Ferrin and York, and various tryouts and non-rookie veterans in attendance.

Matthew Schaefer, the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, made a strong first impression at Islanders training camp, impressing veterans and coaches with his speed, skill, and maturity, and is on track to compete for an NHL spot.

The camp will consist of 24 players and will include practices and games. The schedule for the camp has been released, with practices at the MSG Training Center and games at the PPL Center.

Bryce Young, the undersized quarterback from Alabama and the top pick of the Carolina Panthers, showed complete command during his first practice at the team's rookie camp. He arrived an hour before the scheduled practice time and set the tone for the day. Young demonstrated his footwork, decision-making, and processing skills, which made his size a nonfactor during his college career. The goal for Young this weekend is to focus on communication, snap counts, pre-snap decisions, getting in and out of the huddle, and grasping the concept of the offense. The ultimate goal is to have Young ready to be the starter when the Panthers open the season on Sept. 10 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Philadelphia Eagles' first-round pick Jalen Carter claims to have improved his conditioning level after showing up nine pounds heavier than his Combine weight at his pro day in March. However, it is hard to tell from the light practice at the Eagles' rookie camp. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said none of the rookies are in condition to play a game right now, but he is not concerned about Carter's conditioning. The Eagles invested a lot to land Carter with the No. 9 overall pick, and they'll hold him to a high standard.
