With organized team activities starting up and training camp right around the corner, the New England Patriots have given fans a glimpse into who to look out for in the upcoming season.
On Wednesday morning, the Patriots released the veteran jersey numbers.
After playing with No. 3 last season, Jabrill Peppers switched to No. 5, which was the number he wore at Michigan. And with Peppers' former number being available, James Robinson grabbed No. 3.
After wearing No 9. with the Kansas City Chiefs, Juju Smith-Schuster opted to take No. 7 instead because his former number belongs to Patriots star linebacker Matthew Judon.
And as for Mike Gesicki, he is sticking with the same number he had in Miami.
Here is the full list of numbers:
3. James Robinson
5. Jabrill Peppers
7. Juju Smith-Schuster
15. Corliss Waitman
17. Scotty Washington
19. Trace McSoreley
29. Brad Hawkins
37. Tae Hayes
39. Rodney Randle Jr.
45. Chris Board
47. Olakunle Fatukasi
74. Riley Reiff
76. Calvin Anderson
88. Mike Gesicki
The Patriots draft class wasn't included on the list, and as is usual with Belichick, it is expected that they will wear numbers in the 50s, 60s, and 70s during OTAs, minicamp, and training camp.
However during the regular season, Christian Gonzalez has said he would like to wear No. 0, which was his number at Oregon.
