Opening day countdowns are great. So are player profiles. Here at Musket Fire, we decided to combine them and create a Week 1 countdown-oriented, jersey number-dictated player profile series. A few days ago we looked at No. 21 Malcolm Butler, and the day before that it was No. 22 Robert McClain. Because today marks 19 days until the New England Patriots open 2015, we are profiling No. 19, wide receiver Brandon LaFell.
Selected by the Carolina Panthers in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft, LaFell has missed only four games in five NFL seasons.
