The Patriots have assigned new numbers to the rookies prior to tonight’s Pre-season game versus the Texans.

Christian Gonzalez           CB                          19

Keion White                       DL                          99

Marte Mapu                      LB                           30

Chad Ryland                       K                            38

Jake Andrews                    C                             67

Sidy Sow                              T                            61

Antonio Mafi                     G                             68

Kayshon Boutte                 WR                         80

Demario Douglas              WR                         81

Bryce Barringer                 P                             9

Ameer Speed                     CB                           28

Isaiah Bolden                    CB                           7

Jourdan Heilig                  ST/LB                    37

Justus Tavai                      DL                           94

Malike Cunningham        QB/WR                 16

Thyrick Pitts                       WR                        13

 

This is the second pre-season that the team has assigned a player a duplicate number as Matt Judon’s #9.  I think it’s just a way of having fun with Judon, who immediately sent out a tweet about it!  Devante Parker responded WTH!   Last year it was punter Jake Julien who wore it.  He didn’t make the team and is now playing for the Edmonton Elks of the Canadian League.

About Mark Morse
Mark Morse

Merrimack Valley native and lifelong fan of the New England Patriots. My earliest memories of the Patriots were attending as a child with my dad, the off-season practice at Phillips Academy. I was at the Patriots game at Harvard Stadium in 1970 where Bob “Harpo” Gladieux was called out of the stands by the stadium announcer over the PA to play in the game. Analyzing the draft since ESPN first started to televise it in 1980 and former writer for the Lowell Sun Newspaper.
