What Numbers Will Our New Players be Wearing?

It's always fun to project what numbers the rookies will choose(obviously based on availability), or in the case of a high round pick, some 50k of that signing bonus could go to the incumbant to aquire their jersey number. 

 

I wanted to take some guesses as to which numbers our prospects will be sporting this season.

Star-divide

Ryan Kerrigan(college # - 94) - Adam Carriker wears #94, and I don't see him giving that number up. 

Options -  91 - I can't see Holliday being brought back, so my top choice would be his old number.

                   55 - Not my favorite #, but he could show his true LB side by selecting in the 50's(ala Seau)

 

Jarvis Jenkins(college # - 99) - I will assume Jarvis goes for #99 with the skins; it only make sense, and it is available.

 

Leonard Hankerson(college # - 85) - 85 make the most sense here, and I don't think there is a chance in hell Mike Furrey comes back.

Options -  88 - He has drawn comparisons to Irvin, and he could erase memories of what #88 did to us over the years, but doing the same thing to the Cowboys.  They also are both from The U. 

 

Roy Helu(college # - 10) - NFL RB's are not allowed to wear #'s in the teens, so I look for him to switch to a number in the 20's or 30's(40's are just plain ugle for a RB).

Options -   21 - This in one of my favorite #'s for a RB.  I love to see him in it.

                    28 - Another sweet RB # (IMO)

                   

Dejon Gomes(college # - 7) - DB's have to be in the 20's, 30's or 40's, so no #7 for him here.

Options -  27 - I love my DB's in the 20's, so this make sense. 

 

Niles Paul(college # - 24) - Man, I love 88 for this kid, plus, I think we already have enough WR's in the teens.

Options -  88 - He would look like a beast in this #

                   84 - Strong number too(actually, I'll take that back.  Galloway wore it)

                   14 - Maybe he decides to drop ten. 

 

Evan Royster(college # - 22) - Unless Rogers leaves, Royster will have to find a new number.  zi say he sticks in the 20's

Options -  22(if Rogers leaves)

                   28 - He could follow in the number of the RB whos record he broke at PSU

 

Aldrick Robinson(college # - 24) -  As a smaller WR, I could likely see him going in the teens.

Options  -  14 - Keep the 4, decrease by 10.  Makes sense.

                    84 - He may want to wear something in the 80's

 

Brandyn Thompson(college # - 13)  -  Does it really matter?

Options  -  whatever is left

 

Maurice Hurt(college # - 74)  -  Heyer wears #74, so unless he is released, Hurt will have to look elsewhere.

Options  -  70 - #70 is kinda sweet. 

                    55 - I like G's in the 50's

 

Markus White(college # - 98)  -  Yeah, good luck getting 98 from Rak

Options -  Whatever's available in the 50's or 90's

 

Chris Nield(college # - 90) -  Jarmon is wearing #90, so I don't think Nield is getting that.  He has to stay in the 90's though.

Options -   96 - He could take this number if Kemo is gone(which we all hope is the case)

No Redskins should be allowed to wear #88

And that was laid out pretty clearly to Paul yesterday. Hankerson will take 85, Paul 11, and Robinson 14…

Why wouldn’t Carriker give up his number for the 1st round pick? I’m sure he could be persuaded monetarily.

21 is ST’s number that is not getting reused for a long time if ever. 28 is Darrel Green’s number which is i don’t see getting reused either. 70 was Sam huffs number which has been reused once by leonard Marshall. So maybe that gets reused.

55 was Chris hanburger’s number considering he just got elected to the Hall I think it fits for Kerrigan to wear 55.

seriously Tiller

21, 28, 55….you know better than that. I even have issue with 27 (Ken Houston)…

by MagicHat on May 4, 2011 9:41 AM EDT reply actions  

yeah...and I had dibbs on #99

not to mention the disrespect to Jason Buck and Greg Manusky.

21 was the biggest mistake I think…

And 28 runs really close to the bone as well.

I understand the sentimental value some people have with numbers

but their just that; numbers. Each player should be able to make their own legacy in any number.

99 For Jenkins and 88 for Hankerson are perfect

31 or 38 could look good on Helu

Leonard Hankerson will wear 85

it was his number in college, the number on his twitter, and it’s available. That should be the most gauranteed one.

Let's Go Capitals! Win Sir Stanley's Cup!

Ah, another Husker.

Sweet. I forgot Carriker played for you guys. He was my favorite Husker when I first started really paying attention to football. I hate that STL screwed him up. How did he do last year?

Go Suns, Packers, Jays, and Huskers!

He’s always just been Coach to me. So great to have him back in the program.

"40s are just plain ugly for a RB"

I’d agree with you in most cases, but it sure looked pretty when Stephen Davis was wearing a B&G #48.

by Reedskin on May 5, 2011 6:59 PM EDT reply actions  

true

I got Tiger Blood running through my veins!

by Tiller56 on May 5, 2011 7:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

Torain at 46.

I like them. Better for bigger backs (B. Jacobs shoulda been in the 40s, and Bradshaw in the 20’s :P )20’s are so nice though.

by Andrew DeFrank on May 5, 2011 7:46 PM EDT up reply actions   1 recs

Agreed.

But it/he was still ugly as hell. A very effective kind of ugly.

by Reedskin on May 6, 2011 11:58 AM EDT up reply actions  

I hated Davis in 48

and I hated Betts and Torain in 46…..ugly

The only # in the 40’s I like is 42

I got Tiger Blood running through my veins!

by Tiller56 on May 5, 2011 7:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

Davis was really the only 40s number I liked...

and mostly because I just loved Davis.

I’m right with you on 21 and 28, though. Those are my two favorites for a RB (or any position, for that matter).

Lol

Damn! I’d built up so many points. One wrong comment about numbers and all my hard work goes down the drain.

by Reedskin on May 10, 2011 5:10 PM EDT up reply actions  

you had to know...

Diesel was going to pounce on that one.

by MagicHat on May 10, 2011 7:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

So, when the lockout ends...

typically the rookies drafted in the later rounds sign first. If Hankerson were to sign within a week, and Santana hasn’t resigned….could he steal his number? If Moss isn’t coming back, it’d be pretty cool to keep the U in that number 89
