I'm curious about our new WR, our new TE a d our new Kicker as well. What I don't understand is why can Defensive backs and linebackers wear single jersey numbers but kickers can't wear Defensive numbers. I want our kicker to wear 50 or something like that.

(By the way I liked old nomenclature better but now that the rule has changed, let's be consistent.)

Not likely for kicker since they are considered an eligible receiver.

I think most 80 numbers are unavailable. So I can see Tolbert going with 18 and Ferguson getting a 40’s number ala J-Witt & once cuts come around changes come.

Is he really country though? He’s from Illinois and only played one year at Arkansas lol
most of IL is country. Take away Chicago and it's all farm land. I grew up on a farm in Southern IL. Town of 400 people. Nothing but corn/wheat fields, pigs, cows and tractors. I call myself a country boy.

Appreciate that! I’m a Florida boy so I wasn’t sure
