Key Rookie Cards of Top 2021 NFL Draft Picks Trevor Lawrence, Ja'Marr Chase & Micah Parsons

The 2021 NFL Draft class has quickly become one of the most exciting groups of draft picks in recent memory from both an on-field perspective as well as a collectibles perspective.

These players have showcased elite talent on both sides of the ball while driving significant interest across all aspects of the sports card marketplace.

At the center of 2021 class are three of the games brightest stars:

Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars (#1 Overall)
Ja’Marr Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals (#5 Overall)
Micah Parsons of the Green Bay Packers (originally drafted by the Dallas Cowboys #12 Overall).

Trevor Lawrence - No. 1 Overall Pick - Jacksonville Jaguars

Trevor Lawrence, (who was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars as the first overall pick), entered the league with some of the biggest expectations of any player in the modern game when he was selected out of Clemson. His first few seasons were nothing short of rough, especially since Jacksonville’s coaching staff failed to lead the team in a positive direction.

With that said, Lawrence’s development has accelerated dramatically in recent seasons, and his poise under pressure demonstrates the leadership qualities the franchise has yearned for over the better part of the last two decades.
