Adam Hunger / USA TODAY Sports
The future stars of the NFL convened in Los Angeles this weekend for the NFLPA's annual Rookie Premiere. For many of the rookies, Saturday's photo shoot marks the first time they'll put on their pro team's uniform.
There's something vaguely magical about seeing your favorite team's newest acquisitions decked out in team colors for the first time. Even though many of these players will become busts, you can't help but feel hope for the future.
