Featuring a deep draft class, the market for 2020 NFL cards has proven to be quite strong. Naturally, the top 2020 football rookie cards center on quarterbacks, but there are many notable players to collect.
Although collectors can find prospect sets from Sage and Leaf, only Panini has the ability to produce licensed NFL cards. Panini also has the exclusive rights to collegiate cards, the bulk of which typically arrive earlier in the collecting season.
Football fans have many different options each year. Get the complete breakdown, including product details, checklists and information about buying boxes via the primary 2020 football cards page.
While every collector has a preference, it's normally the same NFL sets every year that get the most attention in the hobby. Key early-season options include Mosaic and Origins. However, nearly any Optichrome football release, such as Obsidian and Spectra, is worth a look.

Top 2020 NFL Rookie Cards To Collect
Boasting multiple standouts, the top 2020 NFL rookie cards list is heavy with key talent on the offensive side of the ball. Just like in the card collecting hobby, offensive players, especially quarterbacks, are prioritized in the breakdown below along with running backs and wide receivers. In particular, the 2020 QB and WR rookie classes appear to be filled with superstar potential, including Offensive Rookie of the Year Justin Herbert.
Given that some players may take time to develop, while other bright stars burn out early, the list of players is not set in stone. Players are grouped by positions and listed in order of their draft selection.
