Such a original topic



It is original because our new number 7 just got injured and is out for the year.

Yes.... the evidence to ignore you, just can't be ignored.

hate to break it to you, but you're getting old.
it's been a bit over 10 years since PP7 played.
this is our 14th season since he went pro.

DJ Chark - decent year, nothing special


only his best year at LSU.
fell 60 yards shy of doubling his receiving yards from the previous year
had the punt return TD that basically turned the entire season around

2019:
Grant Delpit - lingering injury all year - never returned to dominance even in the league - we haven’t had a dominant safety since


All- American and Thorpe award winner

2020:
Ja’marr Chase - opted out that year - seemingly dodged a bullet - number 7 could have left a mark on his soul but he’s been dominant in the league



JaCoby Steven also wore 7 that year and had a solid season.
due to covid, played in 5 fewer games in '20 than in '19, but was on pace to at least equal those numbers.

I have never understood why some people think it's really cool to say "the league" rather than just say "the NFL." There are numerous pro leagues.

So is 18. Keeping a "tradition" is nonsense. Those players have no Earthly idea what it supposedly means.

He had 937 total yards. 4 TDs. Pretty solid. I would not include him on this list. Would start it in 2018 but you’re correct otherwise.

He doesn't know either. The entire idea is dumb.

Stop taking your post seriously after you said Stingley and delpit haven't been great in the pros. What a bunch of nonsense.
