Guess Mac Jones pro jersey number!

[VJCPatriot]

So I was reading that Mac Jones is practicing with the #50 jersey!

Its illegal for quarterbacks to wear that number so what should he wear as a New England Patriot?

Initially I was thinking 10 to match his college number... but 15 as a reminder of his draft position also makes sense? What number would you pick for Mac attack?

ps I ran out of poll options so I had to double up. Legal choices are 1-19 and we know he can’t get 12 for reasons! . So just post here to clarify your vote for jersey number.

I don't think he'll be #1 because that's Cam's number, but I voted for #10 to match his college number.

I would be shocked if it’s not 10

Who is Max Jones?

There is a history of success of Patriots who wore #10 in college and switched to #12 in NE.

 

[Betterthanmost]

#12.
There is a trend here, Dugger got #23.

Joking, I think.

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

10

Jalen Mills is now wearing #2.

I'm guessing 10.

It's gonna be 10. Barely any 1-19 numbers are open, but the one Jones wore in college is. Don't think it's a coincidence.

So they drafted Mac Jones because his number was available?

Yes.

I’d like to see 12 just because it would be funny to see so many fans go ballistic.

Just came back from a Staples run and stared at the Easy buttons for sale thinking who would buy this now? Didn't need it for this one.

The entertainment value would be there, sure.

I would not put that pressure on the kid though.

I wonder... If Lee Johnson wasn't on the 2000 squad, would we all be hearing/talking about TB10?

 

[VJCPatriot]

Yeah although it isn't 'officially' retired, I think 12 is off limits right now for pending HOF reasons.

But yeah I didn't want to influence the vote or anything but I see that the vote is already overwhelming, so I can now safely say I think probably #10 makes a lot of sense for Mac Jones to keep his college number.



I did not know it was available so thanks for those who picked up on that. We'll see! Hopefully he is rocking that sweet #10 soon. If it's another number I'll be surprised and I'll want to know the story behind a jersey number switch!

Bonus material for those who kept reading this far. Did you know that Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers wear #12 because of a Punter and a Kicker??

10
Ten.
1 less than 11.
2 more than 8.
