Every year, the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) holds the Rookie Premiere. The event grants NFLPA partners with access to 40 of the top rookies in the league, the first major business and marketing event experienced by the new draftees.
This year, New York Giants rookie Wan’Dale Robinson attended the event.

Robinson, a second-round pick out of Kentucky, began his collegiate career at Nebraska but transferred to Kentucky for the 2021 season to be closer to his hometown of Frankfort.
One of Robinson’s biggest strengths is his vision on the field. His ability to make defenders miss and find an open spot on the field to catch the ball make him an asset on the field. After the Rookie Premiere, that vision may make him an asset in other areas of life.
Robinson already told Giants fans that he will do whatever it takes on the field, and he’s known as a “gadget-guy” who can do just about anything on the field.
“Whatever they want me to do, whether that be run the ball, catch the ball, catch a bunch of screens, sweeps, whatever they ask me to do, I’ll be able to do it. That’s just what I want to do,” Robinson told reporters last week.
If Robinson can truly do anything he’s asked to do, the Giants gained a serious asset in the 2022 NFL draft.
Oregon edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux and Alabama offensive tackle Evan Neal were both drafted higher than Robinson but did not attend the NFLPA Rookie Premiere.
