As NFL training camps ramp up and preseason games approach, no division will have as much quarterback scrutiny as the NFC North. The four teams in that division are all in unique situations with their signal callers, and the eyes of the NFL will be on those players in the coming weeks.

In Detroit, the defending division champions open a new campaign with legitimate expectations for the first time in decades.
