In a minor manufacturing miracle that took place over the course of just a few days during last week’s 2015 NFLPA Rookie Premiere, Panini America officials captured the photography, created the designs, printed the cards and had them delivered to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum by Saturday morning for the players to sign. The result, as you’ll see below, is a unique addition to the venerable Prestige Football brand.
