Tradition continues with the chrome selection coming from the main Donruss line in the 2021 Donruss Optic Football.
A favorite for NFL card collectors, the rookie cards are bold with many inserts to chase, and the line features quite a few updates.
Each hobby box promises one autograph, four inserts and ten parallels of which eight are serial numbered.
