Panini America recently revealed their Rated Rookie card set, which features various rookies taken in April’s NFL Draft. Among this year’s group were Jacksonville Jaguars first-round picks Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne, both of whom were Clemson stars.
Of course, Lawrence was the first overall pick and had been suspected to be the Jags’ choice for quite some time. Then, with pick No. 25 (courtesy of Los Angeles), they somewhat shocked fans by selecting Etienne. However, after the dust settled it was clear the Jags drafted him to be more of an all-around explosive weapon more than a running back.
As they have in the past, Panini did an excellent job with their rookie cards this season. Both can be purchased on Panini’s site, though they won’t be released for another 18 days.
