Panini signs Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter to exclusive card deal
Panini America has signed 2024 Heisman Trophy Winner Travis Hunter to an exclusive autographed trading card agreement.
Hunter, who played both wide receiver and cornerback for the Colorado Buffaloes, is expected to be one of the top picks in the NFL Draft April 24-26.
Hunter earned numerous awards last year at Colorado, including the Fred Biletnikoff (top receiver) and Chuck Bednarik (top defensive player) Awards. He also was the Associated Press Player of the Year and the Academic All-American of the Year.
The partnership will establish Panini as the sole producer of Hunter’s officially licensed autographed trading cards. Panini, whose NFL license runs through 2025, also will feature Hunter throughout its lines of Panini NFL products, including their Instant Card platform, as well as select Panini marketing activations throughout the partnership.
“Travis is a singular talent who has performed incredibly both on and off the field,” said Jason Howarth, senior vice president of marketing and athlete relations at Panini America. “He has a bright future ahead, and we look forward to supporting him both as he begins his NFL journey and in the years to come.” “As I enter into the professional phase of my career, I’m excited that one of the first deals is an exclusive autograph trading card agreement with Panini,” Hunter said through Panini. “As a kid, I collected Panini cards and imagined my face on a card one day. To know that fans will be able to get my Panini Rookie Card all over the world is a dream come true.”
