This past week, the NFLPA hosted their annual rookie premiere. This yearly event invites the league’s top rookies to interact with one another, while posing for pictures in their new uniforms. Panini America was on hand to get an up close look at each rookie, and create their first professional trading card for an upcoming series.
Dolphins’ rookie tight end Mike Gesicki and running back Kalen Ballage were invited to this year’s event, and several pictures of the two sporting their new dolphins’ uniforms have surfaced over the weekend.

It is anyone’s guess as to why the players sported the new helmet and pants, while continuing to wear the 2017 jersey.
