New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster ultimately made the decision to choose No. 7 for his jersey number with the Patriots.
He had several reasons for choosing the number, with his main one being extremely important.
“My mom’s favorite number is seven. She has seven kids. Lucky No. 7. One of my favorite football players, soccer, wears No. 7. Vinícius Júnior, Year 7,” said Smith-Schuster. “So yeah, it was kind of like a number that I picked that kind of represents a lot of things.”
Smith-Schuster was the Patriots’ top acquisition of the 2023 offseason.
