[ShutDown24]

Thanks!!! I knew Sweed would be 14 lol :)

[Give It To Abercrombie]

I LOVE it when we give the number of a recently departed FA who left for big money to a rookie replacement.

Hail to the new 66 whether he turns out to be a starter or not.

[Dylan]

mendenhall looks more like a 23 to me maybe because he was picked 23

[Dylan]

they must have big expectations of hills if they gave him that number

[Jman]

mendenhall -34
sweed- 14
davis- 53
dixon-2
hills-66

Good info. Thanks!

[BettisFan]

with mendenhall with 34 it makes me think of him more as a fullback i am not sure it just seems like he should have a lower number.

[BIGBENFASTWILLIE]

well bettis was 36..........hopefully he can run that hard

[jjpro11]

im surprised mendenhall didnt take #35 since his number was 5 in college.

[BettisFan]

well bettis was 36..........hopefully he can run that hard

We could only dream :rofl: I love Bettis my favorate steeler of all time i dont think mendenhall can repeat Bettis's power and determination here but we can hope! :applaudit:

[RushHard34]

mendenhall looks more like a 23 to me maybe because he was picked 23

i really saw mendenhall at 23 too :(

[Galax Steeler]

23 would have been a cool number for mendenhall.

[LambertIsGod58]

I've never been a fan of WR's having numbers in the teens. Not sure why, just never have. And Mendenhall I think may be able to be as productive as Bettis, but won't have the same power as Bettis.

[lilyoder6]

i don't care what number they wear as long as they kick ass on the field

[Dino 6 Rings]

34 is a very tough number to wear. Lots of HOFs wore that number throughout the history of the NFL. Very high expectations now for him.

[CanadianSteel]

Was hoping that Bruce Davis would take # 55.
Seems like he may grow into the Joey Porter mold for that jersey number.

[BaddBoi70]

Mendenhall's choice is interesting. Any news on why he chose that #?

[stlrtruck]

Should give Mendenhall 22 so that we can ignore the Duce Staley Sideline Experiment!

:iagree:

I'm sure Terry Bradshaw wouldn't mind a rookie wearing his number. :thumbsup:

[BozMan]

I'm sure Terry Bradshaw wouldn't mind a rookie wearing his number. :thumbsup:

I'm pretty sure Bradshaw's #12 is unofficially retired.

Legursky and Reffett are wearing the same number???....

[lilyoder6]

it's training camp.. and maybe that tells u there can only be one highlander

[FSUBoo]

I think that the number 34 should be good for Mendenhall. I would have given Sweed 80 instead of 14. I don't .like WR's with a teens number. I know Mendenhall can't have 35 cause Dan Kreider still has 35.

[tony hipchest]

Mendenhall's choice is interesting. Any news on why he chose that #?walter paytons # :hunch:

Well here is Mend,
