I guess number 20 is the only number in LSU lore that gets official recognition but it is retired. I wonder if any other number will ever be retired? Number 1 always seemed to me to be a special number for a real fast guy but of course that isn't always the case at all. When I was a kid 31 was my favorite because of Jimmy Taylor but I don't remember if he even wore it when he was at LSU as I was too young.
31 for Dom. Davis is my personal favorite. I always wore #31 growing up in both basketball and football and my name is Dustin Davis, so I enjoyed watching another D. Davis wear my number at LSU! Its too bad hes 37 for the Texans.
I think Taylor wore #42 at LSU. Or at least I seem to remember seeing a picture of him wearing a #42 jersey.
Y.A. wore #14 with the New York Giants. I don't know if he had the same number when he was with the 49ers. The traditional numbers for quarterbacks is from 1 to 19. Can you fill in the blanks of other LSU or pro QBs with these numbers? 1 - I think Warren Moon wore #1 with the Oilers 2 - Tim Couch - Cleveland Browns, Aaron Brooks - Saints 3- Bobby Hebert - Saints, Joey Harrington - Lions 4- Brett Favre - Packers, Trent Dilfer - Seahawks 5- Jeff Wickersham - LSU, Kerry Collins - Giants, Jeff Garcia - 49ers, Donovan McNabb - Eagles 6 - Rohan Davey - LSU & Patriots 7 - Bert Jones - LSU and Colts, John Elway - Broncos, Michael Vick - Falcons 8 - Archie Manning - Saints, Mark Brunell - Jaguars and Redskins, David Carr - Texans, Tommy Maddox - Steelers 9 - Jim McMahon - Bears, Steve Mcnair - Titans, Jay Fiedler - Dolphins 10- Fran Tarkington - Vikings, Trent Green - Chiefs, Chad Pennington - Jets 11- Phil Simms - Giants, Daunte Culpepper - Vikings, Drew Bledsoe - Bills 12 - Tom Brady - Patriots, Joe Namath - Jets, Terry Bradshaw - Steelers. Kenny Stabler - Raiders, Rich Gannon - Raiders 13 - Tommy Hodson - LSU, Dan Marino - Dolphins, Kurt Warner - Rams 14 - Herb Tyler - LSU, Kenny Anderson - Cincinatti Bengals, Brian Griese - Dolphins, Brad Johnson - Bucs 15- Bart Starr - Packers 16 - Craig Nall - LSU & Packers, Joe Montana - 49ers, Chiefs, Jim Plunkett - Raiders, Jake Plummer - Broncos, Vinnie Testaverde - Jets 17 - Jake Delhomme - Panthers 18 - Matt Mauck - LSU, Peyton Manning - Colts 19 - Johnny Unitas - Colts
here are the numbers of current LSU guys in the NFL: Allen, Kenderick (99) New Orleans Saints DT Danny Boyd (5) San Franciso 49 'ers P Clark, Ryan (39) New York Giants DB Davey, Rohan (6) New England Patriots QB Davis, Domanick (37) Houston Texans RB Faneca, Alan (66) Pittsburgh Steelers T Faulk, Kevin (33) New England Patriots RB Faulk, Trev (57) St. Louis Rams (LB) off and on Green, Howard (95) New Orleans Saints DT Green, Jarvis (97) New England Patriots DE James, Bradie (56) Dallas Cowboys LB James, Tory (26) Cincinnati Bengals CB Kennison, Eddie (87) Kansas City Chiefs WR Kinchen, Brian (46) New England Patriots I dont think he is on roster still. LeBlanc, Clarence (35) New York Giants DB LeJeune, Norman (27) Philadelphia Eagles DB Mawae, Kevin (68) New York Jets C McClure, Todd (62) Atlanta Falcons C McFarland, Anthony (92) Tampa Bay Buccaneers NT Mixon, Kenny (79) Minnesota Vikings DE Price, Marcus (73) Buffalo Bills T Reed, Josh (82) Buffalo Bills WR Richey, Wade (9) Baltimore Ravens K I think he was cut.... Roman, Mark (20) Cincinnati Bengals FS Royal, Robert (86) Washington Redskins TE Toefield, LaBrandon (22) Jacksonville Jaguars RB Walker, Denard (26) Minnesota Vikings CB Wiley, Chuck (94) Minnesota Vikings DE Winey, Brandon (68) Washington Redskins T looks like 29 total if Trev, Brian Kinchen and Wade Richey make a roster in upcoming season. I looked a few times...almost overlooked Danny Boyd. Didn't realize he was on a roster nor do I think Richey is on any team but not sure. So we should have 5 or so more after the draft.
I like #21...the number of possibly the greatest RB in Louisiana history (LSU & N.O. Saints), Dalton Hilliard.
