49ers Star Arik Armstead Says Rookie Dinner Was A Prank, They Didn’t Pay $332k!

No, the San Francisco 49ers novices were not stuck to a massive $332,000 tab after a group supper recently — so states star protective lineman Arik Armstead … who firmly insists the entire thing was simply safe enjoyable.

The notorious “rookie dinner” has actually been a custom in the NFL for many years … with gamers consuming like kings for a night, and after that either making it look like the first-year pros will be entrusted the huge check … or, sometimes, in fact requiring them to spend the dough.

A clip of the 49ers’ newest installation to the hazing went viral on Monday … when 2022 second-round choice Drake Jackson published the wild overalls after the expensive meal, revealing all the young professional athletes in shock over the damage.

Of course, a more detailed take a look at the invoice exposes clear indications of it being phony … with absurd upcharges, gratuity and charges connected to the tab, and just about $7,500 in real food.

As the clip continued to spread out on social networks, Armstead went to Twitter to ensure everybody understood the veterinarians aren’t the worst colleagues on earth.

“Y’all silly if you thought a dinner can cost 300k,” Arik stated. “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,” he included. “I had good vets as a young player I would never do a rookie like that.”

Sounds like Jackson and the rooks left simple … ’cause Chargers legend LaDainian Tomlinson informed us back in 2018 he had to shell out $18k to feed his colleagues when he initially entered the league.
