16 - Lenny 18 - Emmitt Thomas 28 - Abner Haynes 33 - Stone Johnson 36 - Mack Lee Hill 58 - DT 63 - Willie 78 - Bobby 86 - Buck Stone Johnson and Mack Lee Hill died during preseason then the team retired their numbers. Young franchise mistake. 5 of those numbers are legit, the others are meh. |

Good job!
I've always thought teams should not retire numbers, they should instead just honor them. When I see the numbers worn again, it helps remind me of the former great players that have played before. |

I remember reading a quote back when Von Miller was drafted saying he modeled his game after Derrick Thomas and chose his number due to that.

I've been watching full games from last season from the Jets and watching Morris as much as possible.
I still think he was a good signing for the Chiefs but although he had 57 tackles last season he really tries to avoid run support when possible. Maybe that is a good thing for a CB? He stays out on his island, covers the WR, and tackles him when he needs. |

Why the **** don't WRs wear numbers in the 80s anymore? Did Keyshawn Johnson just decide to break the mold one day and then everybody was like, "Yeah, seems like a good idea!"
Personally, I think it looks like trash. Might be just me, though. |

I suspect it was at first out of necessity. You had WRs and TEs sharing the 80s series (TE weren't allowed 40 series yet), some numbers had been retired, and just trying to find the needed numbers.
I kind of like it. It is very possible this year that we have no WR with an 80s number. |

Personally, I think the total opposite but I was also born in 1996. 80s just make WRs look fat and old
