NEW YORK, Aug. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time for the start of the NFL season, The Topps Company is pleased to announce that Todd Gurley, the reigning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and Los Angeles Rams running back, is the cover athlete for the Topps NFL HUDDLE® 2017 app.
The app is available now in the App Store and Google Play Store. Gurley, who is featured on the app icon and splash screen, will have special digital cards released throughout the year and will participate in the innovative Live Signature program from Topps which delivers personalized autographs to fans as one-of-a-kind digital trading cards.
"Growing up it was always fun collecting cards and I loved playing football, so to be the cover athlete of a unique app like Topps NFL HUDDLE, which combines the two, is something I'm very excited about," said Gurley. "I'm looking forward to bringing that fandom to a new generation. And I'll definitely be encouraging fans to collect my new Los Angeles Rams digital cards this season."
HUDDLE continues the over 60-year history of Topps NFL cards, now exclusively in digital form.
