Default Antwain Spann will hand over #28 if asked by Fred Taylor [Update: Taylor #21]

Things like this define a class guy. New to the team? Heck, I don't care, have my number. You earned it through many years in this league:

But don't expect any jersey-number fireworks when it comes to new Patriots running back Fred Taylor and No. 28.

If Taylor wants 28, the number he wore with the Jaguars, the player currently donning it is willing to give it up. Soft-spoken defensive back Antwain Spann might try to bring Taylor down on the practice field, but he's not about to stand in his way if he wants 28.

"If he approached me, I’d do the right thing and respect him. He’s been in the league a long time, that's a future Hall of Famer," Spann said. "For me, I’m not established yet. It’s not about a number for me. It’s about trying to earn a roster spot."

You figure with the additions in the secondary and with the draft coming up, Spann probably won't even make the team.

Still a nice gesture. Most guys want a Rolex.

Omg. Is the person who rates all these threads with 1 star, a jealous fan of another team? Jesus. Time to even it out with a 5 star.

A future Hall of Famer? Fred Taylor?
I'm glad the Pats have him even though I know he's
a little long in the tooth. I saw him run just last year
and he was pretty damn good but....
Hall of Famer?

Ty Warren did the same thing with Ted Washington.

That said, Spann IS a class act. I base that judgment almost entirely on my several-sentence conversation with him some time back.
