Two of the newest members of the Kansas City Chiefs are officially getting settled with their new teams.
Trade acquisition DT Neil Farrell Jr., and recent waiver claim CB Darius Rush have both arrived at team facilities ahead of Week 1. They've been fitted for gear and they've also been assigned a jersey number with their new team. Both players conveniently opted to wear numbers they've previously worn that were recently vacated by roster cuts.
They each took to social media to reveal the numbers they'll be wearing with the Chiefs:
Neil Farrell Jr. to wear No. 92
Farell Jr. is no stranger to No. 92. He wore the jersey number at both LSU and with the Las Vegas Raiders. Phil Hoskins most recently wore the jersey in Kansas City, but it was notably worn by former first-round draft pick Dontari Poe. Others to wear the number include Dan Williams, Tanoh Kpassagnon and Wallace Gilberry.
Darius Rush to wear No. 30
Rush wore No. 30 with the Indianapolis Colts, but unlike Farrell Jr., this was not his college number. He wore No. 28 at South Carolina, but wouldn't be able to wear it in Kansas City as the number is retired (Abner Haynes). The No. 30 jersey has been worn by players like Gloster Richardson, Donnell Bennett, Mike Brown, and Jamell Fleming. During the Patrick Mahomes era, it has been worn by players like Alex Brown, Josh Shaw, Deandre Baker, and most recently, Dicaprio Bootle.
