There’s really one number l’d want if l was a football player, and that’s obviously 69.

Which is why I brag about the fact I am Texas A&M Class of '69.??

I know people like the fact that Graham and Garrett will be #94 and 95, but I have a feeling that when #55 becomes available, even if its next season, Graham would jump all over it.
I like 88 for Fannin.
Graham might still be 55 this season. Pocic could "sell' his number to Graham if Graham comes up with a nice enough gift offer. It's been done before.
I'd imagine NIL money would have to make those offers a bit nicer since those top players aren't entering the NFL broke.

Is there a reason you like or dislike various numbers assigned to players?
Yes. It's a semi old school thing. I like single digits for kickers. Single and teens for QB's. 20's - 40's for RB's. 20's for CB's. 30's for S's, 40's - 50's for LB'ers. 50's for C's. 60's - 70's for G's & T's. 80's for WR's & TE's. 90's & 00 for DL. I would've given Gabriel #10.

A nice answer. At least it makes some sense. I don't know when that system was dumped, probably once rosters started to change in size and teams started to venture away from having fairly strict ideas on how many players you needed to carry at each position.
Today with 53 man rosters and up to 16 more players on a practice squad, and a few retired jerseys here and there, sticking to that numbering system might me impossible for many teams.
"Sorry young man, we think you are a great player, but we have to cut you because we don't have a number that fits your position".

That about covers the reasons. So now we have a DB wearing #1 and a WR wearing Kosar's number.
