Topps said Wednesday night the Patriots rookie tight end Eli Raridon scored the first touchdown by a player wearing an NFL Debut Patch. His patch comes off the jersey after the game and becomes his own 1/1 card, the guarantee Topps made for every 2026 rookie's debut.

Topps has not named the set or box that will carry it. Its August 26 announcement put every guaranteed 1/1 into sealed product due in 2027.

Only the NBA's parallel Debut Patch autos have a named home so far, in 2025-26 Topps Chrome Update boxes. We posted the same guarantee turning Jeremiyah Love's patch into a 1/1 three days later.
