Jacksonville Jaguars third-round pick Tank Bigsby is one of 45 draftees set to attend the NFL Players Association’s annual Rookie Premiere event in Los Angeles.
The event — which is set to happen May 18-21 — almost exclusively features rookies at skill positions. Top 10 picks Jalen Carter, Tyree Wilson, and Will Anderson Jr. are the only players set to attend the event who don’t play quarterback, running back, wide receiver, or tight end.
The rookie premiere is a marketing event that connects rookies with brands to kick start the endorsement side of their professional sports career. A highlight of the event is that players in attendance are typically the first to wear their new team’s full uniform for photo shoots.
Bigsby was drafted with the No. 88 overall pick by the Jaguars and is set to compete for touches in a crowded backfield that also features Travis Etienne Jr., D’Ernest Johnson, and JaMycal Hasty.
During his time as a member of the Auburn Tigers, Bigsby earned SEC Freshman of the Year honors in 2020 and finished his collegiate career with 3,351 total yards from scrimmage and 25 touchdowns.
