The New England Patriots announced on Thursday what numbers their rookies will be wearing for the 2023 NFL season.
In somewhat of a surprise, first-round cornerback Christian Gonzalez will wear No. 19 this season. Gonzalez wore No. 0 during his time at the University of Oregon, and many thought he would become the first Patriots player to ever have the number. As of Thursday, no Patriot will wear zero, a number the NFL made wearable for the first time this year.
