"NFLPA Rookie Premiere gives our partners a rare chance to meet the next generation of stars not just through the draft buzz, but through real conversations and real connections," NFL Players Inc. President Matt Curtin said. "Over the weekend, you see who these rookies really are – their energy, their personality, their drive – and it sparks ideas for how to build with them. This class already understands the power of their personal brand, and Rookie Premiere helps turn that into lasting business relationships."  

The business side of the NFL is significant as the NFLPA and NFL Players, Inc. consider these 42 rookies the most highly marketable players of this year's draft class. Brands such as Panini America, EA Sports, Fanatics, Fanatics Collectibles, NFL Social Lab, New Era, and Microsoft engaged with the players for new advertising campaigns.   

Also present to meet the NFL rookies were Nike, Sony, Oakley, WHOOP, Lululemon, Pro Standard, Highland Mint, Funko, FedEx, On The Mark, Gatorade, Gillette, Shiftwave, EXOS, Pepsi, Procter & Gamble, and Jersey Mike's.

Deion Sanders taught Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter how to build their brands, manage marketing deals, and leverage their names, images, and likenesses while at Jackson State and Colorado.

As they begin their professional football careers, the Rookie Premiere offers their first exposure to greater business opportunities for these former HBCU football stars.
