A picture is worth a thousand words.

Without daily media updates from players and coaches at their respective OTAs and minicamps, there are plenty of questions to be answered regarding what the 2017 NFL season might look like.

However, photographers have been able to snap shots from some of the offseason practices to give us a glimpse at what's happening. Here are 11 things we've figured out by looking at their work:

Broncos - Jamaal Charles looks weird in Broncos colors

Chiefs - Alex Smith is just happy to be here

Texans - DeAndre Hopkins is the unquestioned leader of Houston's receiving corps

Packers - Green Bay is using exercise balls to simulate tackling

Jets - Leonard Williams might be the new Troy Polamalu

Rams - Sean McVay is definitely as young as he said he is

Cowboys - Chidobe Awuzie is getting reps as the top cornerback

Raiders - Marshawn Lynch grew his hair out more

Jets - Josh McCown is wearing Tim Tebow's old number

Browns - Kenny Britt has yet to regret signing in Cleveland

Packers - Aaron Rodgers is really into his stretches
