Panini Playbook was among the final football releases before the company lost its NFL license, making 2022 a significant closing chapter for collectors who built around the brand. The set emphasized dynamic photography and modern design, capturing players in high-energy moments that resonated with fans seeking contemporary aesthetics over nostalgia-driven products. DeVonta Smith's Wide Open card showcases the Philadelphia Eagles receiver in his element—a fitting tribute to an emerging talent early in his professional career. The set's focus on action photography made receiver cards particularly compelling, and Smith's inclusion appeals to both Eagles loyalists and those collecting the 2020 draft class.
