College football fans will be more than excited to learn that Upper Deck Sports will be producing the first trading cards of some of the top college stars.   Johnny Manziel, Teddy Bridgewater, Michael Sam, Blake Bortles, Derek Carr, Ka’Deem Carey, Sammy Watkins and others are just some of the players mentioned.

These cards and autographed versions will be available starting April 16th in 2014 Upper Deck Football.  This marks the first, ahem, official autograph cards of Manziel who came under fire in the past for violating NCAA rules in regard to selling memorabilia, etc, so fans can be sure these are definitely legit and not autographs on sketch cards.

Upper Deck has stated that signing sessions for these cards have already taken place, so collectors can rest assured that the likelihood of redemptions has been minimized.

“It is going to be a historic year for football rookies with so much talent and hype surrounding the draft so it was critical for our athlete relations team to lock in deals with this new crop of rookies,” said Brandon Miller, Upper Deck’s collegiate sports brand manager. “The next few weeks will be some of the busiest of the year for our football team, but it all pays off when we hear how excited our customers are when they open up new Upper Deck packs and pull the best players, discover the best autographs and find the best value in the marketplace.”

More highlights on 2014 Upper Deck football in the coming days.
