NFLPA Rookie Debut

In reaction to the current NFL lockout, the NFL Player's Association has scheduled an the NFLPA Rookie Debut as the same time as this years draft. The Player's Association has urged draft participants to not attend this years NFL draft and have now invited around 20 members to join current and former NFL players for a dinner and a celebration of their 'Rookie Debut'.

Cam Newton will be one of those in attendance. The whole aspect of the NFL draft may suffer without the presence of the top athletes. Part of the whole chirade is getting to see these players make the transition and their emotions with all of the work them and their families have been put in. The draft is something I always love to watch but it could take away from the event with the lockout. What is there to be excited about?
