Bears Assign Numbers

by Adam T on May 1, 2008 2:22 PM CDT Comment 20 comments

The Bears have handed out jerseys and numbers . If my assumption is correct the o and d at the end of some players jerseys signify offense and defense and will have to be sorted out later if both players make the squad.

Draft Class:

OT Chris Williams (74)

RB Matt Forte (22)

WR Earl Bennett (85)

DT Marcus Harrison (94)

S Craig Steltz (27)

CB Zackary Bowman (35)

TE Kellen Davis (87)

DE Ervin Baldwin (99)

G Chester Adams (72o)

LB Joey LaRocque (90)

OT Kirk Barton (69)

WR Marcus Monk (19)

Undrafted free agents:

PK Shane Longest (2)

QB Caleb Hanie (12)

WR Curtis Hamilton (14)

QB Nick Hill (17)

CB Leslie Majors (46)

DB Trey Brown (49)

DE Nick Osborn (67)

DE Joe Clermond (72d)

OT Cody Balogh (79o)

DT David Faaeteete (79d).

Really you have to wait

2 years before you can safely buy any offensive player the Bears draft or sign.

i think one day we will all be wearing #22 jerseys, since it will go nicely with a certain #23

Be alittle different to see

Number 87 on a 6’7” guy. But I’ll get used to it.

O/D Numbers

I think the team just runs out of numbers when all the rookies and future practice squad players are in the mix. I think the Bears have most or close to most retired numbers of any team in the league, too
