Here’s Who’ll Be at the 2019 NFLPA Rookie Premiere
The 2019 NFLPA Rookie Premiere, which is presented by Panini America, will welcome 40 top NFL draft picks in Los Angeles from May 16-19.
Less than a month removed from the NFL Draft, the event has grown to include more than 30 NFLPA business partners, and serves as a launchpad for participating players’ endorsement careers. Friday will feature the unveiling of each rookie’s official jersey presented by Fanatics. The Panini photo shoot takes place Saturday, including action and studio shots to be used in card products throughout the year.
“The NFLPA Rookie Premiere is our Super Bowl for NFL trading cards as we welcome 40 of the top rookies we expect to be the most collectable for the 2019-20 season and photograph them for our trading cards, capture content and get the players to autograph trading cards for the upcoming season,” said Jason Howarth, Vice President of Marketing, Panini America.
The player roster includes rookie stars such as Kyler Murray (Oklahoma/Arizona Cardinals), Nick Bosa (Ohio State/San Francisco 49ers), Daniel Jones (Duke/New York Giants), T.J. Hockenson (Iowa/Detroit Lions), Dwayne Haskins (Ohio State/Washington Redskins), Josh Jacobs (Alabama/Oakland Raiders), Marquise Brown (Oklahoma/Baltimore Ravens) and N’Keal Harry (Arizona State/New England Patriots).
The complete roster is below. Beckett will be on hand gathering behind-the-scenes content, interviews, photos and more. So, check back here throughout the weekend for updates.

This is my yearly post. Offense is not the only thing in football. At least, please, pretend that defense exists for these things. More than one defensive player each year maybe? Is that too much to ask?
