Eddie Lacy and Fellow NFL Rookies Show Off Art Skills in Card Set

With the NFL Draft and offseason OTAs in the rear-view mirror, it's now time for NFL rookies to transition to the next stage of their development - drawing. Yes, you read that correctly. Select rookies from the 2013 draft class were pulled aside by card maker Panini to sketch out whatever the players wanted.

Every year inside the Panini America Marketing Station at the NFLPA Rookie Premiere, company officials present the new new crop of rookies with a multicolored arsenal of markers, a few blank pieces of cardboard and a two-word plea: “Draw something.” It’s a simple premise that can lead to some quite complex results, not to mention some of the most valuable and unique trading cards these players will ever produce.

 

Talk about simplifying a playbook. Players literally had to perform a kindergarten task and collectors apparently take interest in this. What happened to rookie cards or game used memorabilia?

Panini has displayed all of the 'artwork' on its blog for you to scroll through. As you'll see, all cards are 1/1 so count your lucky stars if you land one of these Picassos. Seriously though, look at some of those drawings. It's worth the time.

The Green Bay Packers drafted running back Eddie Lacy, who shared his interpretation of a 'cheese head' fan.

Lacy sent a message to the Packers fans with his second drawing.

What do you think the value of one of these cards would be?
