One of his 'Welcome to the NFL' announcements came on Thursday with his first official Panini Instant Rookie Card, which is set to be released soon.

Now, as Sanders begins his journey with the Browns and arrives in Cleveland this week, he announced some exciting news on Thursday—his first official Panini Instant Rookie Card is set to be released, marking a new partnership with Panini America.
