Caleb Downs to wear 13

[ColoradoCowboy]

I wore #38. I sure would love to see a GREAT Cowboy don that number.

You need to just own up to having Jeff Heath as your hero.

I actually like 13 better than 2......

I can't think of any Cowboy great who wore it. That's my test. If I see a number and immediately think of a player who had a great career in it, I prefer that players pick a different number. I know that's impossible to do, but I'm torn over passing on 88 to the next "great." I like the legacy aspect, but would rather associate each great with his own number. When I think of 88, I preferred automatically thinking of Drew Pearson, but now we have to qualify which great 88 it is: Pearson, Irvin, Bryant or Lamb. I mean, would anyone have been upset if Irvin had made 87 famous, if Bryant had worn 82 and Lamb 85?

The best we've had in 13 is possibly Michael Gallup, so it's Downs to make his own if he sticks with it.

Anyone buying a jersey before training camp is rolling the dice

It’s typically predatory that the Cowboys are selling uniforms that they know will change

He’ll likely change numbers again.

They have to get a number for rookie minicamp and then they can get another for OTAs, another before minicamp and change again for training camp.

Yes and no. Theres jersey assurance.

Give that man #28 and call it a day.

I think 13 is cool, it's actually supposed to be an unlucky number, and it will be for those that Downs lines up against.
" An there goes 13 again, Downs has been a menace today" get used to hearing it.
#13
