This year’s rookie class is beginning the first steps of living out their dreams of playing the NFL.
While everyone is busy trying to earn their spot on a roster, an emotional video dropped showcasing several rookies receiving a message from their childhood heroes.
Fanatics created the short video during the NFL’s Rookie Premiere in Los Angeles, per Adam Schefter. Now, enjoy the clip that has everyone in their feelings.
A great new documentary short from @Fanatics "The Locker Room" shows rookies being surprised by their NFL heroes with motivational videos and signed jerseys. It was shot during last month’s Rookie Premiere in LA. pic.twitter.com/li7YeEBPAx

I’m not crying, you’re crying! I swear there’s just a little dust in my eyes.
Who wouldn’t love to receive a video from their childhood heroes? This is just awesome content to watch. These NFL rookies get to live out their life’s dream and will remember these videos for the rest of their lives.
Football fans couldn’t help but agree!

Fanatics with the rare W.
Is this not the coolest thing ever??
These dudes are just kids, pumped to get a video & signed jersey from their idols.
Bravo Fanatics. This is awesome!

These rookies have plenty of work ahead of them if they want to have a full career in the NFL.
It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out, as most of these guys in the video are in a position to make an immediate impact for their team.
With that extra motivation, maybe we’ll see this class get off to a hot start in the 2023 season.
