NFLPA Tells Rookies to Be Like Rob Gronkowski, Odell Beckham Jr., Dak Prescott

The NFL Players Association pointed to three of the NFL's biggest stars for incoming rookies to emulate as they enter the league.

Speaking at the Rookie Premiere, Ahmad Nassar, the president of the NFLPA's for-profit subsidiary, NFL Players Inc., told incoming rookies that New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott have each set a strong example.

According to the Boston Globe's Ben Volin, Nassar cited the fact that the three weren't considered the biggest names in their respective draft classes but have done well since to increase their profile both inside and outside the game.
