Since when were NFL rookies so good at painting?
Briefly

The NFL's annual tradition of 'Rookies Paint' features newcomers painting their team's logos from memory in just five minutes. This year's edition saw notable improvements, with several rookies demonstrating impressive artistic skills. While traditionally, many attempts have yielded humorous and amateurish results, rookies like Terrance Ferguson and Tyler Warren excelled. Others, like Issac Teslaa, acknowledged the pressures of performance under such constraints. Despite some continuing to struggle with accuracy, the overall trend shows enhanced preparation and talent among the NFL's 2025 rookie class, indicating an evolution in this hilarious rite of passage.
Issac Teslaa, a Detroit Lions wide receiver, remarked, 'I see it every year and I'm always like, 'oh, I would nail that,' and now that I'm here I can already tell not nailing it.' This highlights the pressure and expectations rookies feel.
Most attempts at painting team logos have been humorously amateurish, yet some rookies actually showed remarkable skill under pressure, demonstrating their preparation and competitive spirit.
