Order: Click here

What's buzz-worthy: Unparalleled returns for a third season on the gridiron with a dazzling array of parallels and textures along with a ton of new Rookie Cards in a 200-card base set and then 100 more RCs top that.

Keep reading for more info and a full gallery of images.

The Basics: Atop the hits, every box will include at least seven serial-numbered parallel cards. The base set's parallels include Flight, Shine, Astral (/200), Superplaid (/150), Whirl (/100), Impact (/75), Hyper (/25), Fireworks (/5), Burst (1/1) and Galactic (one in 192 packs). The rookies, which will be from this year's draft class, will have the same rainbow of parallels, but some will have autographs (one in 20 packs) with Hyper (/25 max), Fireworks (/5 max) and 1/1 Burst cards. Combined odds for all Galactic cards mean they're found one per case. ... Rookie Jersey autos will have Impact, Hyper, Fireworks and Burst versions at the same volumes, while Pioneer Penmanship will focus on past greats with the same parallels but lower volume, Impact (/50 max), Hyper (/25), Fireworks (/5) and 1/1 Burst. ... Star Signatures will do the same but even rarer at max volumes of (/20), (/10), (/5) and 1/1 parallels. Rounding out the autos will be Undeniable cards. ... For inserts, there are High Flyers cards with Astral (/200), Whirl (/100), Hyper (/25) and 1/1 Burst with memorabilia versions that include Whirl (/50), Hyper (/25) and 1/1 Burst.  The same will apply for Bright Futures cards. ... Star Factor diecuts won't have memorabilia but are rarer with Whirl (/100), Hyper (/25) and 1/1 Burst versions. Other inserts will include Victorious. ... Boxes will carry a suggested retail price of $96 ($12 per pack). Rookies shown here are last year's class for mocks only.
