Ashton Jeanty, Jack Bech participate in major rookie event

For a pair of Las Vegas Raiders rookies, this past weekend has been an unforgettable experience.

First-round running back Ashton Jeanty and second-round wide receiver Jack Bech took part in the 30th annual Rookie Premiere event, held by the NFL Players’ Association. Jeanty and Bech were among 40 rookies to participate in the event.

The NFLPA holds the event every year in order to introduce the league’s newest players to the business side of the league.

Over the course of the weekend, Jeanty and Bech, along with the other rookies in attendance, got the opportunity to introduce themselves to business partners of the NFLPA, including Fanatics, Panini and EA Sports. They also met with several former NFL players, bridging the gap between this generation of stars with previous ones.

The duo also got the chance to see their game jerseys for the first time. Jeanty will wear No. 2, while Bech will wear No. 18.

”It feels good. Blessed,” said Jeanty when asked to describe how he felt about seeing his jersey.

The two then joined the other rookies for a photoshoot with their jerseys on, which will be available exclusively for Panini trading cards. Jeanty and Bech then joined the rest of the rookie class for the ceremonial photoshoot, where all of them took a picture together to cement themselves as the new faces of the league.
