What's Buzz-worthy: These boxes seem to be moving fast and they don't arrive in as high of volume as their NBA counterparts (that are twice the size) but there's still a ton of variety to be found here that can work in your favor if you land the right rookies or key names in key spots. I think I did OK this time ... but not great. Without the auto (not that it's a big one) this box would probably check in at average even with some names and extra Mosaic Silvers instead of standard Silver Prizms. For more thoughts on this one, check out my other breaks here so far this year. ... If you want guaranteed ink and more color and possibilities, spring for hobby or FOTL -- there are some huge possibilities there. (I'm more casual on football these days and more of a school/player collector to go all in on pricier boxes, myself.) I like the simplicity of this one a little more than Prizm and it seems to deliver RCs and inserts a little more generously, too. Does it knock Donruss Optic off the  top of my NFL favorites list? We'll see.

Product Grade: A-
Box Grade: B (helped by auto, which is not in every box ... likely average without it)
Fun Grade: B- (plenty of stuff here but not an amazing box ... hurts the fun factor)
