    Jeffery changes up, will attend rookie event

    ESPN NFL Jeffery changes up, will attend rookie event


    • Jeffery changes up, will attend rookie event

    • By Jeff Dickerson | May 15, 2012 1:48 PM

    Chicago Bears second-round pick Alshon Jeffery initially declined an invitation to attend the NFLPA Rookie Premiere event to be held in Los Angeles from May 17-20 because he was reluctant to skip portions of the club's offseason workout program following last weekend's rookie minicamp.

    But Jeffery altered his plans when informed of a provision in Article 21 of the 2011 CBA which addresses the necessity for clubs to permit the absence of rookies to participate in the event. In addition, players are not able to work out with their respective teams if they turn down the chance to attend the Rookie Premiere, according to an NFLPA spokesperson.

    The 35 rookies in attendance at the NFLPA Rookie Premiere, which will include Jeffery, will be photographed at the Rose Bowl in their respective professional jerseys by trading card companies Panini America and Topps. The 2012 rookies will also be the first class to don the NFL's new Nike uniforms.

    Other rookies to receive an invite with local ties include: former Notre Dame and current Arizona Cardinalsreceiver Michael Floyd, San Francisco 49ers first-round choice and ex-Illinois wideout A.J. Jenkins and Joliet Catholic Academy product and Indianapolis Colts second-round selection tight end Coby Fleener.

    That's awesome that he didn't want to miss any training. But, since he can't train during that time anyways he might as well go out there and have fun. I'm really liking this kid's attitude and professionalism so far.

    This kid is going to be a solid player for many years with the Bears. With him, Marshall, Bennett, and occasionally Hester, the sky is the limit. All of our players work hard, even Marshall, despite his penchant for mischief with the law from time-to-time. I have always admired that aspect to Lovie. He keeps things in perspective for these guys and knows the right buttons to push to get the best out of each and every one of them.

    Arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics, even if you win your still messed up.

    I'd like for that to happen, too. But I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Offensive Rookie of the Year is RG III.
