Mohamed Sanu's first order of business as the Patriots' newest wide receiver will be picking a brand new jersey number.
Sanu has worn No. 12 throughout his NFL career, but something tells us that wouldn't go over well in New England as it's been that Tom Brady guy's jersey number for quite a while now.
So what number will the ex-Falcons and Bengals wideout choose? He wore No. 6 at Rutgers, but the only numbers currently for the taking are 14, 19, 81, 86, 87 and 88. The No. 17, which was worn by Antonio Brown during his brief Patriots tenure, belongs to practice squad WR Devin Ross. As for that No. 87, we highly doubt that'll be given to Sanu as that number will forever be associated with retired Pats tight end Rob Gronkowski.
Ex-Patriots cornerback Logan Ryan is just as curious about Sanu's pending number change as the rest of us:
Regardless of which number he ends up donning in his new uniform, Sanu provides a much-needed boost to the Patriots' receiving corps. He'll join Josh Gordon, Julian Edelman, Phillip Dorsett, Jakobi Meyers, Gunner Olszewski, and N'Keal Harry on New England's WR depth chart.
