Wentz, Prescott, Elliott Top Latest NFLPA Trading Card Index

October 11, 2016 By Rich Mueller

Panini and NFL Players Inc., the licensing and marketing arm of the NFLPA, have unveiled the third edition of the NFLPA Trading Card Index, a quarterly report ranking the top-performing NFL players in the trading card industry.

Once a quarter, the NFLPA Panini Trading Card Index ranks the top 15 rookies and top 15 veterans based on several key factors, including secondary-market transactions, overall trading volume and collectability based on on-field performance and expectations (e.g., rookie hype and collector speculation). The third NFLPA Panini Trading Card Index, listed in its entirety below, includes updated rankings for both rookies and veterans based on early season performances and faCarson Wentz Radiant Rookies gold patch 2016 Panini Spectran and collector reaction. The newest Index rankings are based on secondary-market transactions and trading volume that took place during the third quarter of 2016.

Philadelphia Eagles rookie quarterback Carson Wentz remains number one on the Rookie list thanks to a strong start in his few three regular season games. Wentz is now receiving strong competition from the Dallas Cowboys duo of Dak Prescott (who vaulted 11 spots since Q2 to No. 2 on the rookie list) and Ezekiel Elliott (who has been a top-three fixture in each of the first three Indexes). Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff fell 10 spots to No. 12 on a rookie list that features first-time appearances from New Orleans Saints receiver Michael Thomas, and running backs DeAndre Washington (Oakland Raiders), Kenneth Dixon (Baltimore Ravens) and C.J. Prosise (Seattle Seahawks).

“Honestly, this is pretty cool,” said Wentz. “To be among so many talented and popular rookies this early in the season, is really humbling. I’m just thankful to all the fans, both in Philadelphia and beyond, who helped put me in this position so early in my career.”

Panini Impeccable Tom BradyNew England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady tops the veteran Index for the second consecutive time, followed by Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who moved up nine spots in the last quarter. The veteran top five is rounded out by Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (up six spots), Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Antonio Brown (making his Index debut) and Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (up five spots). Aside from Brown, other new veteran additions this quarter include Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, and star receivers Julio Jones (Atlanta Falcons), DeAndre Hopkins (Houston Texans) and Doug Baldwin (Seattle Seahawks).

“It’s great to be among some of the best players in our sport,” said Brown. “Guys like Tom, Aaron, and Cam are amazing, so to be the only non-quarterback in the top five is truly an honor. Everyone knows that the Steelers have great fans, but this shows how much you’re appreciated even beyond your own fan base.”

“In terms of the football card category, this has been one of the most spectacular starts to a season in quite some time,” said Jason Howarth, Panini America’s Vice President of Marketing. “Wentz, Prescott and Elliott have been nothing short of sensational and a country full of football fans and collectors has responded with feverish buying habits on those players’ best rookie cards. That trend shows no signs of slowing down. On the veteran side this quarter, there aren’t many surprises. The biggest stars have continued to shine brightly. It’s nice to see new players make the list with the football season now underway.”
