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. 51 Jerod Mayo, and the day before that it was No. 52 Dane Fletcher. Because today marks 50 days until the New England Patriots open 2015, we are profiling No. 50, defensive end Rob Ninkovich.
Selected by the New Orleans Saints in the fifth round of the 2006 NFL Draft, Ninkovich has also been a member of the Miami Dolphins.
