New Patriot Mohamed Sanu Reveals Number Preference, And It’s Available

The New England Patriots already have seven receivers on the roster (including the practice squad) whose jersey numbers are between 10 and 20.

Well, you soon might be able to add another to that list.

The Patriots on Tuesday reportedly swung a trade with the Atlanta Falcons for wideout Mohamed Sanu. Presumably while on his flight to New England, Sanu seemingly revealed the number he wants to wear — and it’s available.

Take a look:

So, if Sanu eventually receives No. 14, the Patriots will have eight receivers with numbers between 10 and 20. Rookie Gunner Olszewski (80) currently is the only wideout on the team with a number in the 80s.

Check out this hypothetical list:

Josh Gordon, No. 10
Julian Edelman, No. 11
Phillip Dorsett, No. 13
Mohamed Sanu, No. 14
N’Keal Harry, No. 15
Jakobi Meyers, No. 16
Matthew Slater, No. 18
Devin Ross (practice squad), No. 17

Obviously, none of this means anything, but it’s kind of interesting nevertheless.
