Upper Deck has signed an exclusive autograph deal with Jacksonville Jaguars’ receiver Allen Robinson.
The company will offer signed Robinson home and away jerseys, autographed footballs and autographed helmets and has created a line of autographed photos.
The announcement comes just days after the Jaguars’ second year receiver’s two-touchdown effort against the Miami Dolphins.
At Penn State, Robinson set school records in single-season receptions and receiving yards. He also holds the title for the second-most overall receptions in school history.
