LOS ANGELES — In a whirlwind first two days at the 2014 NFLPA Rookie Premiere, one of the most important events on the collecting calendar every year has more than lived up to its sterling reputation, delivering a year’s worth of highlights — and seemingly an entire season’s worth of autograph cards — for Panini America. One by one, more than 40 of the biggest rookie superstars in the NFL have made their way to the spacious Panini America Player Lounge to sign autographs, including on-card gems for 2014 Prestige Football, 2014 Elite Football and more.
While we could sit here and wax poetic about the lasting memories created in the Panini America Player Lounge on Wednesday and Thursday, we thought we’d let a gallery full of compelling photos from the first two days do the talking for us. Friday marks the final day of player autograph rotations here at the host hotel. Tomorrow, the 2014 NFLPA Rookie Premiere will move to the historic Los Angeles Memorabilia Coliseum for the main event. Stay tuned to the Panini America Twitter account — following the hash tag #ScoreRookie — and The Knight’s Lance for live coverage of all the action.
Until then, though, enjoy the gallery.
