What's in a number???

Question

The Patriots 7th round draft pick, rookie linebacker Bo Ruud, is wearing number 91. If you recall, the Patriots had a DT (Marquise Hill) that tragically died one May 27, 2007 who wore number 91. In honor of him, the Patriots wore a #91 sticker on the back of their helmets the entire 2007 season. How is it right that a rookie 7th round pick can take this number after Marquise Hill died just last off-season? Shouldn't the number be "put-away" for at least a few years or am I getting upset over nothing? Thanks.

Answer 1

I'm not sure if the Pats will have Ruud change his number because of that or not, we'll see.

Answer 2

In no way you are taking it too seriously, they should put away his number in honor of a wonderful person on and off the field, however it may not have crossed their minds if you understand

I am with you though, 5 years minimum the number should be kept, maybe hung up on their stadium??

Maybe a petition is in need?? hehe

R.I.P.

Marquise Hill
