footbull3196 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Here's NFL networks list of top 10 jersey numbers: 10. #99 9. #19 8. #85 7. #7 6. #20 5. #21 4. #34 3. #80 2. #32 1. #12 As usual, they got their top 10 list wrong. I would argue that the #52 is a number that every great linebacker should strive to wear because of the group they would place themselves in Ray Lewis, Patrick Willis, and Khalil Mack headline this jersey number as once in a generation talents. I think at the very least, it should be ranked where #85 is at, so at least 8th on the list. I think you could make a case as high as 6th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yibbyl Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Stunned. Nobody has said it ranks 52nd yet?!? Oh, wait, I just did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 ILB is the most devalued D position outside of 0-tech NT. Not really surprising that the top ILB jersey doesn't make the top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL Network made one of their countdowns titled "Top 10 Jersey Numbers", which lists the best jersey numbers by which number had the most great players wear it. I posted the list up at the top. Where does the jersey number #52 fit, either on that list or on your own personal list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingseanjohn Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 #88 needs to be on there for sure. Drew Pearson, Michael Irvin, Marvin Harrison, Tony Gonzalez, Cris Carter, John Mackey, Alan Page, Clarence Parker, Charlie Sanders, and Lynn Swan to name a few who have worn it.

I agree with your point, but Cris Carter wore 80 his entire time with the Eagles and Vikings. If youre gonna try to use his time with the Dolphins when he wore #88 to make a case for him being included in that list then lol ok sure whatever you say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have him listed as both 80 and 88. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think Willie mcginest is a future HOF'er or even close to it. Only 2 Pro Bowls, no All-Pros and 1 season of double digit sacks, even if he was a tackling machine and remained consistent over a decade in New England. He seems to be your classic Hall of Very Good player Lee Roy Jordan on the other hand is kind of overlooked. I think you can definitely make a case for him to be a senior finalist for the HOF since he was one of the top players on the doomsday defenses of the 70s cowboys that won 2 titles and would have been a potential dynasty if not for the Steelers dominating the 70s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
