Number question answered

[Mr. Scot]

So why was James Bradberry given the number 24?

Because he asked for it.

Questioned about the jersey number in his post practice interview, Bradberry said his first-choice was his college number 21, but he was informed that was taken (currently owned by Teddy Williams). Since that was unavailable, he chose a number that had been worn by players whom he admired; specifically naming Champ Bailey, Darrelle Revis, and yes, Josh Norman.

Bradberry ready to learn

So no 'messages', no shots fired, no disrespect; just a college kid wanting to wear the same number as some of his idols. Heck, that's how a lot of us picked our jersey numbers when we first started playing football.

I think there are a few on here who would probably believe Gettleman stole Norman's milk money in grade school.

I never got to pick a number. Was assigned 47 once and 96 another time. Nobody on the team got to pick their numbers...

I got my pick of available numbers on every team I played for from pee wee through high school. All of us did.

Wore 34 for a while when I was trying to play runningback, but mostly wore 50 and concentrated on linebacker.

Can't say I've ever heard of a team being number nazis before.

Sounds like the coach was a control freak.

His last name wasn't Belichick, was it?
