This could take a while...

Number 4 would be an interesting debate.
Number 12 would be an interesting debate
57 would be an interesting debate. And on and on

exactly - and it's a friday and the off-seaon, so what else do you have to do at work?

And I disagree about 57, Bear Bryant said Dwight Stephenson was the best player he ever coached

For some reason I thought Krauss wore 57

Maybe Darby for 34?

For 4, Prothro or Barron?

39- EJ Junior

After Yeldon breaks a bunch of records this year, it will likely be him.

1 - Al Bell

4 is really tough.

I can't think of anyone that wore 5 except Patrick Hape, but then I think he switched numbers to 38, or maybe he switched from 38 to 5. Can't remember.

Seems like there was a LB or S in the early 90's that wore 16? Lemanski Hall maybe?


ETA: Actually didn't Tony Nathan wear #5?

EJ Junior...nice!

Between Prothro and Barron - I say Barron wore it better. Outside of the great start to the 2005 season, Prothro was kind of meh (no disrespect to the man). Hopefully TJ will be in the discussion very soon
