Every year after the NFL draft, the National Football League’s Players Association invites several of the most high-profile rookies from the recent draft class to Los Angeles for marketing and endorsement opportunities. It’s called the NFLPA Rookie Premiere.
It’s a business trip of sorts for the incoming rookies and also the first time they will be in their new team’s full uniform for the first time.
This year, the event runs from May 16-19 and 40 rookies received invites. Two of those rookies represent the Washington Commanders: Quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Luke McCaffrey. Daniels was the No. 2 overall pick, while McCaffrey was the 100th selection.
The top four selections in the draft will attend, and of the invitees, only two (Colts DE Laiatu Latu and Vikings LB Dallas Turner) play on the defensive side of the ball.
Here’s the complete list:
