Rookie numbers?

[Patrick Miller]

Anyone know when rookies are assigned their jersey numbers? Anyone want to take a guess on who will get what number?

[twfish]

Latu wants #15, I would bet Flacco gives it up. Mitchell though will be a tough one, I would have bet 15 for him since 5 is taken but maybe he takes 10?

[richard pallo]

I would love to see Latu wear 83 Ted Hendricks old number but Mallory has that.  He physically reminds me of Hendricks.  An ER wearing 15?  Doesn’t look right.  Lol

[RollerColt]

I think #53 for Latu to join with all the other defensive lineman. I also just really like that number, no disrespect to Leonard. But it's a new era. 

[indyagent17]

I don’t know why, but for some reason every year this post is always entertaining. What number will each player wear? I personally hope that Mitchell wears 17 my favorite number. I have a blank jersey with 17 on it. I would love to put Mitchell on the back of it.

Oh the notion is absolutely absurd, but that's the offseason for you.

Yeah, well some people wanted Anthony Richardson to take 34.  Would have saved them a few bucks.

0 would be great for Mitchell. Some team have already released their numbers, I expect Colts to do the same soon.

[Patrick Miller]

Would anybody be upset if Mitchell wore 87 or 88?

not for 87 and it would be cool if reggie asked him to.  i don't want anyone in 88 again.

Those Numbers aren’t “retired” - so game on.

Not retired but typically they ask the greats for their blessings on wearing the number.

I’d bet Mitchell take 10.  Don’t know why - he just looks like a 10.

Well an ER wearing 83 wouldn't look right either lol.  I'm with you though, I still haven't adjusted to the new rules.

In soccer no. 9 is traditionally reserved for the striker - the scorer... and some of my favorite players have worn that number. I wouldn't mind Mitchell taking the 9 and turning into our scorer...

I had a disturbing thought.  Was Moncrief #10?  Maybe Mitchell reminds me of Moncrief, and that’s why I want him to have #10!?

I didn’t want anyone wearing 88 after John Mackey wore it, but we can’t retire them all….

Mackey was the TE for the SI NFL 50-Year Team.  The greatest.

I don't know why, but I like 9 for him.

 

I've been looking out for the new numbers way more often than I'd like and even settled for looking through other teams' new numbers just to scratch the itch.

That's fair.  I'd probably change my mind if it was another great.

 

I do like what dallas does with 88 but it is risky.   the player has to be exceptional.

He was one of the old school TE's that helped bring the position to where it is today.  Great player!
