#27

[Bee]

Does anyone else feel weird seeing a defensive back wearing #27?

As a long-time fan, #27 has always been our power runner's number.

Not that there's anything wrong with that number being on the other side of the ball--it's just sort of an aesthetic clash for me. (sort of like the backwards nike swoosh on the shoulders of the new jerseys).

I really dont think hes gonna make the cut

if you look back at the history of this team you will see that 27 is a rarely used number for whatever reason

through the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s ....I can only think of maybe 4 DBs, a few random HBs who probably noone would remember if I named them because they only had a cup of coffee with the team , and of course WR Bob Grim who wore # 27

so Herb Welch is really the first meaningful #27.....followed by of course Rodney Hampton, Ron Dayne, and Brandon Jacobs

But we traded Bob Tucker to get Bob Grimm...he had to be good

But honestly I can't really think of many either ...other than ones you mentioned...although i am sure there are a few

I was going to get a Carl Banks jersey until I realized people might think it was an Antonio Pierce jersey.
