Two of the Chicago Bears' 2015 draft picks—wide receiver Kevin White and running back Jeremy Langford—will attend the NFLPA Rookie Premier this weekend in Los Angeles, the team announced in a press release. The orientation is designed to shed light on the business side of professional football for rookies just entering the league.

"[T]he rookies will gain information to assist in the development of their professional careers and personal brands, with seminars focused on financial planning, brand building and group player rights," the release stated.

Players, past and present, will share their stories and advice with the rookies. They'll also hear from NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith and NFL Players Inc. president Ahmad Nassar.

"Beyond providing a platform to learn about the business of football and benefits of their union as they game plan for their new careers, Rookie Premiere gives players a chance to showcase their personalities so that the NFLPA team can use that insight to connect the right players with the right brands to tell their story," Nassar said, per the release.

We'll see if White and Langford can learn a couple valuable lessons in L.A. and turn them into star power back in Chicago.
