Andy Lee changes jersey number to honor late daughter

Former San Francisco 49ers punter Andy Lee is in Cleveland with the Browns, but given his long tenure with the 49ers, he is not a guy we will be forgetting anytime soon. Unfortunately, Lee is in the news with the Browns for the worst of reasons.

Lee wore No. 4 with the 49ers and will switch to No. 8. He chose the number to commemorate a terrible loss in his family. His wife had their third chid, a daughter, back in January. Unfortunately complications resulted in Lee's newborn daughter passing away after only eight days.
