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

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.
