The NFL has the offseason dominated when it comes to coverage of the NFL draft and the workout period of the offseason is usually just as interesting, with positional battles going down and quarterbacks learning new systems.
Teams can have a set amount of team workouts and rookie camps as well as other organized team activities, which were negotiated in the last deal. Many teams have rookie camps starting this weekend, while the Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens, Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Washington Redskins already had theirs.
All NFL teams already had their first day of offseason activities, while others have had voluntary minicamps and rookie minicamps right around and after the NFL draft with OTA Offseason Workouts starting to take over the bulk of the schedule through May and June before mandatory minicamps begin.

From the NFL regarding offseason programs: Phase One consists of the first two weeks of the program with activities limited to strength and conditioning and physical rehabilitation only.
Phase Two consists of the next three weeks of the program. On-field workouts may include individual player instruction and drills as well as team practice conducted on a "separates" basis. No live contact or team offense vs. team defense drills are permitted.
Phase Three consists of the next four weeks of the program. Teams may conduct a total of 10 days of organized team practice activity, or "OTAs". No live contact is permitted, but 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills are permissible.
