Cincinnati Bengals rookie running back Chase Brown is the lone member of his team’s draft class invited to the NFL Players Rookie Premiere.
Brown, expected to compete with Trayveon Williams for the right to rotate with starter Joe Mixon next season, was one of 45 rookies across the NFL invited to the event.
The event, put on by the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) and its NFL Players Inc. division, is in year No. 27 and is often viewed as a major but of exposure for some of the NFL’s biggest names.
The NFLPA’s website explains:
NFLPA Rookie Premiere provides partners with unmatched access to 40 of the NFL’s newest stars at their first major business and marketing event following the NFL Draft. This is one of the most valuable opportunities available to NFLPA partners because it’s the first time to connect directly with professional football’s most promising and marketable young players–all in one place—and build content and relationships that extend into the season and beyond.
Bengals wideout Ja’Marr Chase was one of the team’s rookies invited in recent years.
