The logic and appeal behind NFTs is still a mystery to many of us. Nevertheless, Tom Brady is in on it.
The seven-time Super Bowl champ's platform Autograph, which is partnered with DraftKings, is set to drop a debut collection of non-fungible tokens tied to Brady starting Wednesday, giving hardcore collectors access to one-of-a-kind digital items featuring the Buccaneers QB.
"NFTs bring an entirely new dimension to the collector experience, and I cannot wait for people to discover and engage with this first-ever drop of Autograph's official digital collectibles," Brady said in a statement.
Autograph, which Brady co-founded, features collectible signatures from Wayne Gretzky, Derek Jetter, Tony Hawk, Tiger Woods and Naomi Osaka.
Officially launched today: DraftKings Marketplace

Brady isn't the first NFL star to jump on the NFT bandwagon. Teammate Rob Gronkowski has a highly profitable NFT trading card collection while retired quarterback brothers Peyton and Eli Manning launched a set of eight digital pieces back in April of this year.
