NFL rookie quarterback Ryan Nassib will serve as Panini America’s special guest Tuesday as the company partners with Modell’s Sporting Goods in New York City’s Times Square to kick off Panini America’s 2013 NFL trading cards and stickers collectibles season.
Nassib, the former Syracuse quarterback who was drafted in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft, will appear at the Times Square Modell’s location from 5 to 6 p.m. EST on Tuesday to interact with fans and to sign free Panini Score Hot Rookies Photo Cards.
