NFL Rookies Brought to Tears by Heartwarming Video Messages From Their Football Heroes

NFL Aaron Rodgers Anthony Richardson Bryce Young Will Anderson Fanatics

Several high-profile NFL rookies received quite the surprise in moments captured by heart-warming video released by Fanatics Thursday.

In the four-minute video, top rookies like Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud, Will Anderson and Anthony Richardson are welcomed to the NFL by custom video messages from players they grew up looking up to. Richardson and Titans QB Will Levis received messages from Tom Brady, while Young heard from Aaron Rodgers and Anderson’s message came from Ray Lewis.

Then, players were instructed to look under their seats to find a box with a signed throwback jersey from their idols. Their reactions, predictably, were priceless.
