It wasn't the greatest week for NFL rookies, but another new name emerged on the collecting landscape on Sunday.

Chris Carson's rushing total against the 49ers -- 93 yards -- are fueling the fact that his only NFL autos are found in 2017 Panini Unparalleled. This particular card is limited to just 10 copies and it's an $86 card -- and that eBay sale actually was before his big game.

There were surprises and new arrivals on the NFL rookie front -- and that's just Week 1.

Six newcomers stepped up with none perhaps more surprising the Kansas City RB Kareem Hunt, who helped the Chiefs pull off a dominating 42-27 win over the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots on Thursday night. He had 17 carries for 148 yards and a touchdown — and seven catches for 133 yards and a 75-yard score. Not bad for a third-rounder out of Toledo.

As you should already know from last week, he already appears on more than 450 different cards with nearly 300 of those being certified autos. He’s got 15 RCs so far by the standard (non-insert) definition and nearly 140 memorabilia cards and is found in most 2017 releases -- just like most of our other notables from Sunday.

Who made the cut? Keep reading.

There's a new NFL star after Thursday night's season-opener -- and it's not Angry Tom.

It's Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Kareem Hunt, who helped his team scorch the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots with a more-than-impressive debut in a 42-27 spanking of Tom Brady and his team. Hunt's final line? Just 17 carries for 148 yards and a touchdown -- and seven catches for 133 yards and a 75-yard score. Not bad for a third-rounder out of Toledo.

The good news? Hunt has a ton of cards for collectors to, well, hunt.
