John Bosa — the first-round Miami Dolphins draft pick, the Boston College defensive end who showed elite pass-rushing ability before a knee injury ended his career after only two NFL seasons, and the father of Nick Bosa (San Francisco 49ers) and Joey Bosa (Los Angeles Chargers) — appears on this 1988 Topps rookie card, PSA-certified at 8 NEAR MINT.

Bosa played his college football at Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts — the ACC program with a tradition of producing NFL talent from a campus in the shadow of Boston's academic and sports culture — and developed the defensive end tools that generated first-round evaluation entering the 1987 NFL Draft. The Miami Dolphins selected Bosa in the first round (16th overall) of the 1987 NFL Draft — a premium investment in the Fort Lauderdale kid whose professional career, limited by injury, nonetheless established the foundation for one of the most remarkable father-son legacies in NFL history. The 1988 Topps #198 PSA 8 NEAR MINT rookie card is the certified document of that foundation.

Nick Bosa won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award in 2022 and was selected as the 2nd overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Joey Bosa was selected 3rd overall in the 2016 NFL Draft. The combination of two top-3 draft picks from a single family is unprecedented, and their father's 1988 Topps rookie card is the paper origin of the Bosa football dynasty. PSA 8 NEAR MINT: the high-grade vintage document of where the Bosa NFL legacy began.
