The Rookie Premiere is hosted by the NFL Players Association through its marketing and licensing arm NFL Players Inc. and presented by Panini America.

Panini America will photograph the rookies in their new NFL uniforms and collect autographs and memorabilia for inclusion in its football-card sets.

“We are thrilled to announce the upcoming NFLPA Rookie Premiere event, which provides partners with a unique opportunity to engage with influential athletes of tomorrow,” said Steve Scebelo, the president of NFL Players Inc. “This year’s class will have the chance to learn about the business of pro football from union leadership, following in the footsteps of established players who have gone through the same experience. We believe that Rookie Premiere is a win-win situation for both the players and our partners, providing connections that will benefit them both.”

The union’s annual orientation for the league’s “marketable new stars” features seminars on financial planning and brand building and connects the players with NFLPA business partners that will help them “develop their personal brands and careers off the field.”
