So, what about between now and then?

If you’re a collector of sports cards, love watching athletes jump into crash bags, or just love football, it’s time to get amped for the 2026 NFLPA Rookie Premiere! Every year, a curated list of rookies venture to Los Angeles for a few days of photo shoots, autograph sessions, along with branding and licencing classes. When they say autograph sessions, this isn’t just a jersey here or there from fans who attend.

No, this is when the thousands of rookie cards, stickers, and other whatnots are signed for inclusion in various card and memorabilia sets. According to this Sports Collectors Daily article , there are 20 wide receivers, 2 tight ends, 7 running backs, 7 quarterbacks, and 6 defensive players that will attend. So who will represent the orange and blue?

They didn’t have a 1st or 2nd round pick! Players are generally selected for the Rookie Premiere based on a combination of college performance, NFL Draft position, on-field potential, and marketability — factors that also tend to drive early trading card value and brand interest. Now in its third decade, the event serves as the league’s premier early marketing and content-creation platform for top rookies.
