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. Several days ago, we looked at No. 58 Darius Fleming, and the day before that it was No. 59 Chris White. Because today marks 55 days until the New England Patriots open 2015, we are profiling No. 55, linebacker Jonathan Freeny.
Freeny had initially been given No. 56, but he has since switched to No. 55.
