Rookie numbers released

[DaBruinz]

unfortunately I think the fact the Pats gave Gordon's #10 is just further proof that his return to the team is farther away than we think. I couldn't have been more wrong about that.

as mentioned, the Patriots have since changed Harry to #8. He can wear it in pre-season, but not the regular season.

Why can't he wear it in the regular season?

Gunner can't keep #9 either so I am sure a lot of these numbers will be switched when the final 53 is released.

He can't because it's Ted Williams' number.

See my previous post. It’s against league rules.

Just looked it up. Harry cannot wear #8 when the regular season starts if that’s his number right now. WR’s can only wear 10-19 or 80-89. Numbers could be temporary for all rookies.

Jamie Collins cannot wear #8 as well. He can only wear 40’s, 50’s and 90’s.

Damn, I always forget that you don't have to know about stupid rules like jersey number ones to know about how football actually works.

WRs have to wear something in the 10-19 or 80-89 range.

I don't think we need to worry about what number Gunner will wear on the 53.

Demaryius already has it.

Poor b@stard. You know 88 is code for HH or "Heil Hitler!" or something...

Adam has been a Colt longer than a Patriot.... 1996-2006 then 2007-2019 in Indy....

But he won here.

NFL Rules. Numbers 1-9 are reserved for QBs, Kickers, Punters.

Have you ever seen an NFL WR wearing a single digit # in the regular season?

 

[Sully]

Harry will wear 15. It’s on his twitter handle.

He had that twitter handle before though.

Stidham #4 are they ever going to retire Adam's number?? It all started here for him: Adam would never have to buy a drink in this town. He will always be a hero around these parts.

The club should seriously consider unretirimg the numbers that are currently retired. There’s barely enough numbers to go around as it is, and several numbers far more deserving of being retired than those that already are.

He forfeited that honor when he signed with Indy.

He won in Indy, too. He was magical in 2001. After that, meh.
