DNAsports 5,500 Posted May 4, 2020 Tom Brady is working out in what is very clearly a Patriots helmet. Would’ve been funny to see a Buccaneers logo slapped on the side. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So he’s Ty Montgomery’s numerical ancestor, essentially. Bernstine did change numbers when he changed teams, though - IIRC he was #33 when he played for the Broncos. That makes me think of several others who played in the ‘80s and ‘90s wearing unusual numbers. Jim Jensen had a long career with the Dolphins under Don Shula (RIP), being used as a sort of jack-of-all-trades, always wearing #11. He apparently appeared at QB, RB, WR, and TE but must’ve been drafted as a QB. There’s also Dennis Gentry, who wore #29 with the Bears but was often classified as a WR. He seems to have been an undersized wideout-running back hybrid who was mostly used as a returner, but he must have been drafted as a running back. There have also been other players who wore numbers they shouldn’t have logically worn, usually for just a season or two. Browns WR Michael Jackson (no relation to the singer except they are both unfortunately no longer living) wore #1 early in his career. Can anyone think of others? (Regular season or playoff appearances necessary; preseason rules are different.) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Regular season or playoff appearances necessary; preseason rules are different.) I like these kinds of things. It offers a level of uniqueness to a player. Mark Barron & Deone Bucannon are good defensive examples. Both were drafted as safeties, but transitioned to linebackers. Bobby Mitchell & Dexter McCluster are good offensive examples. Both drafted as running backs, but transitioned to wide receiver I also like how the Ravens utilize Patrick Ricard as FB & DL. Although I think he’s more FB than DL these days 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
