The 23rd annual NFL Players Association Premiere took place in Los Angeles this weekend and the SEC was well represented. Seven of the conference’s former stars were in attendance, and it appears they greatly enjoyed the event.
Fans were able to follow the weekend’s activities via social media, which was utilized by both the NFLPA and the athletes themselves. Players received their first taste of an NFL player’s lifestyle, but, for many, it’s just the beginning.
Among the former SEC players in attendance were Josh Dobbs, Evan Engram, Leonard Fournette, O.J. Howard, Alvin Kamara, Josh Reynolds and ArDarius Stewart. Here is a glimpse of their time at the rookie premiere.
