The 2014 NFLPA Rookie Premiere is currently taking place in Los Angeles. Some of the top players from this year's crop of rookies are in LA for the event.
What is the event about?
"NFLPA Rookie Premiere is an unparalleled opportunity for our partners to engage with tomorrow's most influential athletes today," said NFL Players Inc. President Keith Gordon. "For the first time as professionals, players will learn about the business of football from fellow players, union leadership, and industry experts as they start to build a game plan to succeed beyond their playing careers."
Through another news release issued by the NFLPA, "throughout the event, players will gain information to assist in the development of their professional careers. The union's annual orientation includes seminars focused on financial planning, brand building, group player rights, and social media best practices."
According to the Collective Bargaining Agreement, the 34 other rookies selected to attend are not allowed to attend team practices for the duration of the event.
SB Nation's own Dan Rubenstein and Ryan Van Bibber are out at the event, and they got this photo of new Bengals running back Jeremy Hill:
