Guess the draftees #'s

[Spergon Wynn]

Hernandez was 46, but I'm pretty sure Gronk was always 87. Fun fact: Ridley wore 37 for a while.

And Vereen was 29 at one point.

 

[Big-T]

I believe 40s are allowed for LBs as well.

Player Numbers by Position

50-59 and 90-99 according to this and a couple of other websites.

I could've sworn that they started allowing LBs to wear numbers in the 40s.

Either way, it's time for the NFL to do away with the numbering system, in my opinion.

Linebackers can wear 40s if the 50s and 90s are all taken.

Ah so 40's are the tertiary numbers for linebackers!

What numbers do WR's get if 10-19 and 80-89 are all taken?

Single digits, I believe. Victor Cruz wore #3 in the preseason in 2010.

Stanback wore a single digit number at WR against Indi for the Patriots too but the next game he had #15 so I always thought it was because he was signed as a QB, but that makes sense now if it's because of no free numbers.

The chance of a regular season roster having used all the numbers is unlikely!

10/11/12 - QB
13/14 - P/K
80/81/82 - TE
83/84/85/86/87 - WR

Going by the usual number at each position using those numbers, there would still be 7 #s left over!

That would be impressive if they filled 20

I am aware we are talking about preseason! But preseason is preseason!

 

[Arrington Planet]

Randy moss with the #6 during a '07 preseason camp. (IIRC at first he was going to wear #11, then switched to #81.)


Brandon Meriweather wearing #38 during a rookie minicamp.


Sergio Brown still with the #38 during the preseason game against Tampa.

I'm sure we'll see some # changes even before the start of the TC.

If a players moves position after 1 year they can keep the number, so if a team has QBs 10,11,12, P 13, K 14, WR 15,16, 17 is retired, 18 is a RB that used to be a WR, 19 is retired, 80, 81, 82 are TE, 83 is retired, 84, 85 are WR, 86 and 87 are WRs turned DBs, 88 is a WR and 89 is retired you have 5 WRs and no 10-19 or 80-89 left, what if you want to carry 6 or 7 WRs?

 

[Spergon Wynn]

Now that's some number to live up to!

Richard Medlin set the standard for 37.

That doesn't happen.

Richard Medlin set the standard for 37.

I remember when I thought he would make the 53...

Hopefully my streak of UDFA RBs not making the roster even though I predicted them to will end this year.

2010: Paschall
2011: Medlin
2012: Bolden?

I wonder why Kettani changed from 44 to 36

Does this answer your question?

 

[Avenger]

I figured that might be the case but I didn't look it up, was 36 taken last year?

James Sanders had it until he was cut in TC and then Polite had it when he signed!

Don't forget Molden in the preseason!

You can change a players number! And 3 players who have changed position, interesting scouting!

Sergio Brown still with the #38 during the preseason game against Tampa.

I'm sure we'll see some # changes even before the start of the TC.

Brown changed numbers after Meriweather was cut! #31 was available to him at the start of TC!

 

[Calciumee]

Don't forget Molden in the preseason!

Didn't realise he was with the team in TC! Thought he was picked up after the TC cuts!

My bad

 

[Spergon Wynn]

If Waters were to retire, I wouldn't mind Hightower wearing 54.
