3. Exclusive NFL Funko Pops: Kick-off of NFL icons
As the new NFL season kicks off, this yearly tradition gives NFL fans and Funko Pop collectors something to look forward to as these pop figures are set to be released later in the season. The NFL collection is set to include special figures for a select group of NFL stars. Among the fortunate few is Sauce Gardner, who had a standout 2022 season, winning Defensive Rookie of the Year with 2 INTs and 20 PBU.
