Falcons WR Zachariah Branch invited to NFLPA Rookie Premiere

[ASFN Admin]

The Atlanta Falcons will have one representative at the NFLPA Rookie Premiere in Los Angeles later this month. Third-round pick Zachariah Branch was the only Falcons rookie invited to attend this year's event, which gathers some of the top rookies in the NFL for photos, brand sponsorship opportunities and more.

Branch, a standout at the University of Georgia, is expected to compete for a starting job in Atlanta this season. Last year, he recorded 81 catches for 811 yards and six touchdowns for the Bulldogs.

The 2026 rookie premiere will take place in Los Angeles from May 14-17. Here's how the NFLPA describes the event on its website:

NFLPA Rookie Premiere unlocks unparalleled access to 40+ of the league’s top rookies—creating one-of-a-kind opportunities for brands looking to build player-driven product and campaigns with the next faces of the sport. Since 1994, Rookie Premiere has served as players’ first marketing opportunity as a pro, creating partnership opportunities and genuine relationships that extend well beyond their introduction to the league. -- NFLPA

Branch will be joined by 41 other members of the 2026 NFL Draft class at the rookie premiere. Check out the full list of players expected to attend the event later this month.
