NFL: 10 Things We Learned From Preseason Week 1

The 2015 NFL season is creeping ever-closer, and while preseason won't get the hearts of a nation beating at double-speed, it's a welcome sign to see football talk on the rise and there's plenty to discuss already. All 32 teams took to the field over the weekend with a complete mixed bag to take away from their games. Still, fans would've been relieved to see their stars enter the field after the long wait since the Patriots' Super Bowl 49 victory, but the weekend would have been treasured most by the all-new draft class. Some of the brightest sparks shone in their roles as expected, while others stumbled, proving that coaches and young players need patience as they find their feet.
