Ballerific Sports: The 2016 NFL Training Camp Schedule – blogged by @niksofly

It is that time of year again. Reckoning hour is upon us. Your favorite teams will have to come together officially as a unit to decide who will make the 53 –man roster. The grueling battle will solidify the future of players with their perspective teams. For some, hope will have to be found elsewhere.  Players will get cut, only return as members of the cutting team at a later date. Some will have to run the routes of their NFL dreams with the teams that didn’t draft or sign them. The physical pain will swell under the tyranny of the summer heat as mental anguish solidifies the seriousness of the next few weeks. Away from civilian-life, these athletes endure two-a-days and a tight schedule, hoping to make it out of camp as an active player and in one piece.

As gruesome as the battles are, each team allows fans, family, media and groupies to witness one of the greatest fights of these athletes’ lives. Below is the 2016 Training Camp schedule. Whether you want to catch a glimpse of your favorite player, watch the brutality of practice or position yourself for your next come up (let’s not pretend we don’t know why some of the females are there), the list below should help you with your quest.
