WASHINGTON, D.C. – The NFL Players Association (NFLPA), in partnership with The Players’ Tribune, has launched a three-part animated video series across its digital media platforms spotlighting some of football’s most exciting rookies and their journeys to the NFL.

Using interviews from the 2025 NFLPA Rookie Premiere and gridiron footage from various stages of their football careers thus far, the video shorts capture the passion and unique personalities of top first-year players Travis Hunter, Ashton Jeanty and Cam Ward. The series kicked off Friday with Hunter, as the Jacksonville Jaguars two-way athlete shares his mindset and excitement for his first professional season through a creative lens.

"Something that I’ve dreamed about doing was playing in the NFL, so I always wanted to leave everything I’ve got in me out on the field,” Hunter says in the feature. Watch his video here.

The next installments showcasing Ward, the Tennessee Titans’ No. 1 overall draft pick, and Jeanty, the dynamic running back for the Las Vegas Raiders, will be released later this season on the NFLPA’s and The Players’ Tribune’s social media channels.
