When you are a Chief sharing jersey numbers with someone else on the team, it means you are very low on the team hierarchy. Number assignments indicate Derrick Ross, Marcus Maxey, Jon McGraw, Tre Stallings, Rudy Niswanger, and Will Svitek are going to have to work their butts off to make the team.

I was in hopes that Svitek and Niswanger could get some playing time this year and show what they can do. I though maybe Maxey or Bragg might be the 4th or 5th corner. I projected Jon McGraw as our third safety. I also thought Derrick Ross might become our 3rd back. All of those things might happen, but if number assignments mean anything, they are going to have to fight for a position.

34 Brackenridge, Tyron CB
34 Smith, Kolby RB

38 O'Keith, Marcus RB
38 Bragg, Michael CB

39 Ross, Derrick RB
39 Patterson, Dimitri CB

45 Maxey, Marcus CB
45 Murphy, Wes TE

47 McGraw, Jon S
47 Allan, Michael TE

48 Butler, Robb S
48 Willis, Keith TE

61 Stallings, Tre T
61 Heard, Michael DE

64 Niswanger, Rudy C
64 Harris, Chris DE

65 McGlothlin, Matt DT
65 Taylor, Herb T

66 Batiste, George T
66 Crum, Brian LB

71 Svitek, Will T
71 Doughty, Stanley DT

72 Newby, James T
72 Murphy, Montez DE
That means shit. They have to give them SOMEONE'S number. If you've seen our numbers for backup Oline, you'll know we don't have much. Niswanger and Svitek make the squad no matter what barring injury or putting up Kevin Sampson-like vaginaness. So will Stallings. And Kolby Smith. Everyone else should start applying at Walmart.
