What’s Buzz-worthy: These colorful and striking blasters — neon orange along with Deshaun Watson Mike Williams on the box — are just as energetic on the inside. Like past years, there are two autos per box and a mess of inserts along with a modest amount of base cards from a relatively small set. There are big names of the recent past, players of Hall of Fame caliber and guys who were just drafted — or will be today. This one is cheap fun — but a quality release that’s perfect for fans of certain schools. You won’t find those elite names in every box when it comes to ink — that’s about the only drawback — but there was a first-rounder auto in this box. These are a fun rip that all football fans should get a piece of before the full array of NFL products with updated rookies start arriving later this year.
