Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is now available as a highly coveted nonfungible token (NFT), via Brady’s Autograph platform, via DraftKings Marketplace, according to ESPN’s Jenna Laine.
Autograph’s first preseason pass collection officially arrives on Wednesday and will not only feature the seven time Super Bowl champion Brady, but also sports icons such as Wayne Gretzky, Tony Hawk, Naomi Osaka, Derek Jeter and Tiger Woods.
“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,” said Brady, who co-founded Autograph along with Dillon Rosenblatt. “We created Autograph as a way for fans and collectors to own a piece of iconic moments in sports and entertainment through authenticated and official digital collectibles and we are just getting started!”
NFTs, created in 2014, serve as digital assets of unique items that live online and cannot be duplicated or copied.
Brady is hoping to continue the success of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who notably sold $3.4 million in NFTs in one night alone back in March of this year.
