Lenny Moore as well- yet Indy Fans don’t even put him on the list of Best Colts Running Backs. Some of his NFL TD Records were just broken in the past few years, after standing since the 1960s.

I had Latu figured for 97, since it’s the only ninety number left.  However, I just watched the Behind the Colts episode, and Thornton was showing him the locker room and said something like, “We’re still getting the # firmed up, but you should be right about here.”  They were at a locker with either 91 (Leo) or 92 (Avery) on it.

11th

 

You're right, I miscounted. And he can't have #11...

Re: Adonai Mitchell vs Josh Downs and the #1 jersey

 

If I were sitting down with the both of them, I would offer this piece of advice to each:

 

For Downs -- Do not change your number.  It's bad luck.  Doesn't matter how much anybody offers you in order to take your number.  Just. Don't. Do. It.

 

For Mitchell -- They say that the definition of Greatness is someone who doesn't remind us of anyone else.  They say, "he reminds me of Jerry Rice" or "he reminds me of Reggie Wayne".  Don't be the guy who is compared to someone else.  Be the guy who defines the standard by which others are compared to you.  The first step -- take a jersey number that nobody else uses.  Make it your own.  Write your own legacy.  (Take jersey #0)

So when are the draft picks going to be introduced officially to the team? When does that happen?

[indyagent17]

Here are the available numbers taking away legend numbers 

 

6, 10,17,19,21,24,30,53,57,60,61,68,69,70,71,74,77,89,97

 

So lets guess what numbers they will wear 

 

Latu 17

Mitchell 6

Gonclaves 68

Bortolini 74

Gould 10

Carlies 53

Simpson 24

Abraham 30

Laulu 97

 

 

[Patrick Miller]

I bet Flacco will

give up 15 for Latu.

You know that saying... The player makes the number, the number doesn't make the player.

yeah I know, sry 

but latu will wear #97 like I guessed according to his insta

[CR91]

97 for Latu. Flacco being pity 😂

[MarquisJ]

For those looking for “proof” … I wouldn’t put too much stock into camp numbers especially when we don’t know for sure is Flacco has even met Latu.

Latu doesnt care about his jersey number, at least thats what he said on maxx crosby´s podcast... 15 was given to him at ucla, he didnt really chose it, he just wanna play.

. I have a blank jersey with 17 on it. I would love to put Mitchell on the back of it.

Why not put indyagent on the back of it?

[Shive]

A proper pass rusher number.

Seems like they have given them the numbers but have not announced them. No idea why that is... 

 

Laulu gets 57...

Matt Goncalves seems to be 71:

I don't know why someone edited it, but his actual IG post shows 97.

 

 

[CR91]

Part of me wishes AD gets 88. I like what Dallas does with their 88.

I just realized this was Laulu and not Latu. 🤦‍♂️

 

Also:

Confirmed.

Personally dont like 10 on Mitchell. I think it's boring, but whatever

The Ryan Diem jersey number, always liked it. Solid pro for a long time, if that is what Matt Goncalves becomes, I will take it.

Maybe it's to remind himself of the 10 WRs who went before him.  I have no real idea, obviously, but would track with his whole "chip on his shoulder" thing he's got going on.

I just wanted someone to finally get 88. It's an iconic number in both Baltimore and Indianapolis Colts history 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I love Mitchell has that big of a chip on his shoulder to pick that number

Shouldn't they retire jersey 88 for Marvin Harrison Sr.? I would prefer they do that.

You'd think so, but Marv hasn't played since 2008.

They are waiting for Marv Jr to join them in free agency.

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?

Ayyyyyyy I got that one lol

[Archer]

You guys see that Abraham was able to get 33 because Flowers changed to 21?  I think it’s because Dallis is so similar to Deion…

I have a jersey signed by Lenny Moore.

But no one has worn his number since then, and I don't think they intend to let anyone wear it.

 

I like #10 for WRs, and it makes sense for AD. I'm not super big into jersey numbers, but that one seems perfect to me.
