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. Yesterday we looked at No. 49 Joe Cardona, and the day before that it was No. 50 Rob Ninkovich. Because today marks 48 days until the New England Patriots open 2015, we are profiling No. 48, rookie outside linebacker Geneo Grissom.
In late May, Oliver Thomas of 247 Sports noted that Grissom will be taking the No. 48 jersey, at least for the time being.
