What's Buzz-worthy: This one is a little different than it might appear as it's essentially all in one with the All-Americans and Mascot subsets as part of the 100-card base set. Atop that there are short-printed draft picks (only one per box as Prizms) and then 200 autographs that are also numbered as part of a main set. The legends here make up most of what you'll land in a box -- a move that might help the value of your draft picks as you simply don't get that many in this format. (Hobby remains best way to go here with an auto in every pack.) I like the feel here on the whole, though the design frame feels a tad simple and in line with what the 2019 NFL frame looked like. (One odd thing? The cards seem super-slick and they stick together while also showing fingerprints very easily.) My personal collecting tastes will probably lead me to doing more singles here than wax in volume, though there are plenty of things to find here to rip into boxes for. Blasters give you a taste of everything with Blue parallels only found here and then a bit of a challenge as you'll need a few boxes to build just the basic set. All in all, it feels somewhat comfortable though a little lean unless you perceive the subset cards as inserts. Hit hobby and you should find the full array of everything Prizm Draft has to offer.
