OL Bryan Bulaga (75), Green Bay Packers -- Bulaga talks about his transition from college to pro football.

VETERANS
RB Shonn Greene (23), New York Jets -- After an impressive postseason performance, Greene will be the Jets' primary back this year.
DL Matt Kroul (93), New York Jets -- Kroul could have a shot with the Jets, who did not draft a defensive lineman this year. Kroul spent last season on the Jets' practice team.
G Marshal Yanda (73), Baltimore Ravens-- Yanda entered the off-season as a restricted free agent and signed a one-year, $1.684 million deal with Baltimore. He's slated to play right guard this year.
G Bryan Mattison (72), Baltimore Ravens-- Mattison is slated as a likely reserve in Baltimore after switching from defensive line last year.
DB Marcus Paschal (30), Baltimore Ravens -- Paschal played in two games for the Ravens last year. He signed a one-year deal with the team this off-season.
LB Abdul Hodge (52), Cincinnati Bengals -- Hodge played in all 16 games for the Bengals last year.
G Eric Steinbach (65), Cleveland Browns -- Steinbach forms a solid left side of Cleveland's offensive line with former Wisconsin tackle Joe Thomas.
LB Matt Roth (53), Cleveland Browns -- After he was released by the Miami Dolphins, Roth joined the Browns late last year and started the last six games. He finished with four sacks but has yet to sign his restricted free-agent tender.
DE Derreck Robinson (67), Cleveland Browns -- Robinson played in three games last December for Cleveland, his fourth organization since leaving Iowa in 2005.
DT Mitch King (75), Indianapolis Colts -- King was injured for most of 2009 and signed with the Colts shortly after the Super Bowl.
S Bob Sanders (21), Indianapolis Colts -- Sanders played in only two games last year but appears completely healthy entering the summer.
TE Dallas Clark (44), Indianapolis Colts -- The Colts spent a fifth-round pick on a blocking tight end but he's not a challenger to Clark.
S Sean Considine (37), Jacksonville Jaguars -- Considine is competing with Gerald Alexander for the Jaguars' first-team safety position.
DE Aaron Kampman (74), Jacksonville Jaguars -- Kampman, who suffered a season-ending ACL tear last year, didn't participate in the Jaguars' weekend mini-camp.
OL Seth Olsen (70), Denver Broncos -- Some observers project Olsen as a starter somewhere on the offensive line this year but at a position yet to be determined.
G Robert Gallery (76), Oakland Raiders -- Offseason back surgery didn't keep Gallery from mini-camp last weekend.
TE Brandon Myers (83), Oakland Raiders -- Myers started two games for the Raiders last year and had four catches. He made his biggest contribution, however, on special teams.
K Nate Kaeding (10), San Diego Chargers -- Kaeding won't practice until late summer after undergoing off-season groin surgery.
C Casey Wiegmann (62), Kansas City Chiefs -- The Chiefs are putting a priority on offense and it starts with Wiegmann up front.
TE Scott Chandler (87), New York Giants -- Chandler is one of five tight ends on the Giants' roster.
DE Jared DeVries (95), Detroit Lions -- DeVries re-signed with the Lions two months after the team released him. He's the teflon player on the Lions' roster, now entering his 12th season in Detroit. He's expected to compete for the starting left defensive end spot.
LB Chad Greenway (52), Minnesota Vikings -- Greenway is a productive starter in Minnesota and enters his final season under contract.
RB Albert Young (34), Minnesota Vikings -- Vikings Coach Brad Childress and quarterback Brett Favre believe Young has a chance to be a good NFL running back.
DT Jonathan Babineaux (95), Atlanta Falcons -- Babineaux had his most productive season last year, leading all defensive tackles in sacks with six. But he faces a suspension this year after a marijuana arrest.
OL Rob Bruggeman (67), Atlanta Falcons -- Bruggeman faces significant competition in training camp after the Falcons drafted a pair of offseason linemen.
S Charles Godfrey (30), Carolina Panthers -- With the Panthers trading Chris Harris back to the Bears, it's possible Godfrey will move from free safety to strong safety.
P Jason Baker (7), Carolina Panthers -- Baker, the Panthers' second-oldest player, won't surrender his jersey number to second-round draft pick Jimmy Clausen.
DE Kenny Iwebema (91), Arizona Cardinals -- Iwebema played in 11 games and had two sacks for the Cardinals last year. He talks about his draft memories in this video.
CB Bradley Fletcher (32), St. Louis Rams -- Fletcher worked into the starting lineup last year only to tear an ACL. The Rams hope he can return by training camp.
