Best Players by Number

Ranking the NFL's best current players by jersey number, 0-99 | Sporting News

Who are the best players in the NFL when it comes to picking one for each available jersey number, from 0-99?

www.sportingnews.com

Normally I'd post this in the NFL forum, but this list actually has a Seahawks Player on it. The question is who. I wonder if anyone can actually guess which Seahawks player was ranked as the best current player with their number? I know it certainly wouldn't have been my first guess.

Based on you saying it would not have been your first pick, I am going to say 6 - Diggs. Now to go see if I am right

My funny, spite pick would be 3 - Artie Burns

I have to admit having "3" have the word "Burns" on it has made me crack a smile more than one time

I am going out on a limb and guessing that Devin Bush is probably the best number zero in the league.

Edit, had no idea there were other players that chose to wear it.

Lol. No I definitely wouldn't have guessed that Hawk.

Pretty fair list.

Trevor Lawrence has had like one good year though compared to Lockett’s volume of work since 2018.

I still say Bobby is the better 54 over Fred. And, no, I never would have guessed that "--blank--" would be the pick for our Hawks. Not with 100 tries. Mainly because I forgot that was the number he wears. Cool, tho.

What a STUPID list!!

"Leading the group with 16 of his own was Eagles outside linebacker Haason Reddick, who ranked at the top of Tier 2 in Pro Football Focus’ edge rankings, missing the top tier by just one spot."

So a guy that isn't even in the top tier at his position is better than a player that made the pro bowl and was the NFL comeback player of the year??? #7

Give me a break.

Great catch.

Is 12 Aaron Rodgers?

Lockett for #16, screw Lawrence.

 

[JPatera76]

Yeah.. this list is pretty laughable but eh off season, what ya gunna do right?

 

[Rainger]

not wearing 12 in NY Think 8 or 9 from college

Interesting. I specifically wrote the post thinking there was no threat to his number there.

 

[hawkfan68]

Lockett for #16, screw Lawrence.

"Dude looks like a lady" got #16 over Tyler Lockett.

 

[Lagartixa]

Lockett for #16, screw Lawrence.

I had actually written a reply yesterday, but didn't post it. Here's what it said (I just grabbed the text, which the site had automatically saved, and moved it into a quote box):

Tyler Lockett is still better than Trevor Lawrence.

I'm glad @SeAhAwKeR4life spotted it too.

Like @hgwellz12, I also thought of #54, but I think considering age, I can concede that there could be a reasonable argument for putting the Gold Diggers' #54 above ours. I'd expect more from Warner than from Wagner this season, for example, but in terms of career value, I expect our #54 to come out ahead when both have retired and we can look back on both complete careers. So it's not clear to me either way who should be the choice for uni # 54 on this list. Of course, one of the reasons it's not clear is because I also agree with @Rainger that the whole list is pretty stupid.

It'll take a SB win, I think, before seeing Creed's name in any "best" list without feeling like someone lightly cuffed my nethers.

#1 Eferin Herrera

 

[hawkfan68]

#1 Eferin Herrera

That would be quite amazing if he still is a current player at 71 years old. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/herreefr01.htm
