Dapper Labs is going to bring digital video moments to NFL fans.

Dapper Labs launches NFT collectibles with NFL and NFL Players Association

Dapper Labs is teaming up with the National Football League (NFL) and the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) to create digital video highlights as nonfungible tokens (NFTs) for NFL fans.

The deal comes a week after Dapper Labs raised $250 million and cut a similar deal to create digital collectible NFTs with the LaLiga soccer league, and it is a new twist on the successful strategy where the company combines a popular brand with NFTs. Dapper Labs did that last year with NBA Top Shots.
