What's Buzz-worthy: A year ago, the key Pink rookie in this box probably felt a little more interesting but this year there could be some better potential. Maybe. It's still a card that pays for a pretty good chunk of this box I found straggling at the retail aisle and it's a brand I've probably, at this point, busted more than any other for 2018 football. As said before, Mega Boxes got my attention more when this one arrived -- and they're better ... or at least safer. You don't get as many inserts in these boxes -- a little less variety -- but there are exclusives. The Pinks are only found here. You won't find autos here but you get a memorabilia card every time. Those big-name rookies can still be found in these boxes even though there's a new crop of fresh stars to grab others' attention. This is one that's worth a look from last year as we await more NFL cardboard this season.
