NOTES:

The photo on this UFL 2025 card is fantastic. I really like the clear expression on his face along with the juxtaposition of his figure against the yellow background.

I traded away a triple signature UFL card for EJ PERRY, HAKEEM BUTLER, CODY LATTIMER, DONALD PAYNE, and MATT COBURN II. (Later in the month I’d pull that same triple signature card again anyway.)
