“As I look ahead in my career, I want to diversify my creative skills and explore new ways and platforms to reach fans through collecting and digital art,” said Simone Biles. “I am excited to work with Autograph and provide my perspective as part of the Advisory Board. I am honored to join a group of very accomplished legends and greats across all sports to collaborate with Autograph and help lead the next generation of digital collecting for our fans.”
Autograph will create and produce the Simone NFTs in partnership with Religion of Sports. As an adjunct to the Religion of Sports series Simone vs. herself, ROS serves as executive producers of this NFT drop. Simone vs. herself takes an in-depth look at her life, training, and the challenges of being one of the greatest athletes of all-time. The series continues in the weeks ahead, releasing footage from her time during the Tokyo Olympics.
Each owner of a Preseason Access Pass, regardless of edition, will also be granted preferential access to a future drop from Autograph. While the supply of inaugural Simone Biles NFTs on DraftKings Marketplace is limited, fans will have opportunities to acquire certified authentic content of other prominent athletes and collections yet to be released. Following the Simone Biles drop, Derek Jeter will be the next athlete showcased within the Preseason Access Collection on Autograph and DraftKings Marketplace.
