The San Francisco 49ers rookies were stunned when the bill from their dinner came out but linebacker Arik Armstead assure fans it was all just a 'prank.'
linebacker Drake Jackson and the other rookies on the team learned just what it costs to make it in the league, even as the team claimed the NFC West title last week.
Jackson posted the video on Instagram of what appeared to be the bill for the dinner, totaling just over $322,391. The eye-popping number had everyone on social media aghast, and they could not believe that could have been the final tally for the bill. Drake Jackson, #95 of the San Francisco 49ers, pressures Trace McSorley, #19 of the Arizona Cardinals, during the fourth quarter at Estadio Azteca on Nov. 21, 2022 in Mexico City.
The rookie dinner is a tradition among NFL teams when the veterans would rack up a high price tag and make the rookies split the cost. Sounds like fun, especially for the defensive players who are making less than $1 million per season while trying to49ers star Arik Armstead, however, cleared the air about the dinner. He tweeted that the high bill was a"prank.
"Y’all silly if you thought a dinner can cost 300k. It was a prank. The waitress went overboard. The dinner was 7500 me and 2 other vets gave 1k towards it. The rooks split 4500. We had a great time too. I had good vets as a young player I would never do a rookie like that," Armstead tweeted.Arik Armstead, #91 of the San Francisco 49ers, rushes the quarterback during the game against the Miami Dolphins at Levi's Stadium on Dec. 4, 2022 in Santa Clara, California.
