It's every athlete's dream to end up on a trading card.
And one Northeast Kansas kid got just that today.
Former Wildcat Jordy Nelson got his first big thrill of being drafted today by being the star at his own photo shoot.
He and 34 other star NFL rookies posed for their first Upper Deck football card.
"It's crazy, you know, I collected cards when I was growing up," Nelson said. "Being on an Upper Deck and having kids bringing it up to me and ask for an autograph, and stuff like that, it's a crazy feeling. And its very enjoyable. It's a great spot for us to be in as role models and just seeing ourselves on cards is just another step."
