Ever a conspiratorial bunch, New York Jets fans were driven into a frenzy Monday evening by two simple numbers: five and 17.
On Monday, Jets punter Thomas Morstead posted a picture of himself handing over his No. 5 jersey to wide receiver Garrett Wilson—the reigning AP and PFWA Offensive Rookie of the Year.
“Honored to pass #5 to GW,” the former Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion posted. Morstead, who wore No. 15 at SMU from 2006 to ’08, has worn four different numbers (No. 6, No. 19, No. 4 and No. 5) in his NFL career.
