Putting on a full NFL uniform is understandably a pretty big moment for most rookies. And two new Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2024 NFL Draft got to put on their uniforms a bit earlier than usual.

The NFL held its Rookie Premiere event in Los Angeles last week, which is a trading card event mostly catering to skill position players. Two of Tampa Bay's draft picks, wide receiver Jalen McMillan out of Washington and running back Bucky Irving out of Oregon, fit that bill, and they were invited to the event to take some photos in their Bucs uniforms.

Both McMillan, who was drafted in the third round, and Irving, drafted in the fourth, could factor into Tampa Bay's offense immediately. McMillan could be a WR3 mixed in with last year's draft pick in Trey Palmer, while Irving could serve as a nice change-of-pace back in lieu of Rachaad White heading into 2024.
