2011 NFL Draft: Schedule For NFLPA Rookie Debut

The NFLPA is no longer asking incoming rookies to skip the 2011 NFL draft because of the labor issue. That news came out several weeks ago and the NFLPA apparently changed plans amid fan backlash and now they’re hosting a series of events on the weekend of the 2011 NFL draft instead.

On Thursday, there will be a welcome dinner along with the families players from 4-6:00 p.m.. The NFL draft is that evening and starts shortly after that. On Friday, there will be player interviews and then a lunch and a dinner later that day. On Saturday, there will bea “Let Us Play” fitness and skills clinic s well as a “One Team Celebration Party” that evening.
