Which Jets Player Do You Think Should Wear the Number 0?

RL: Like Nos. 1 and 13, 0 is a uniform number that requires a bit of self-confidence to pull off, unless of course you were Jim “Double-0” Otto. If it weren’t a season too late, I’d say Sauce Gardner would have been a perfect Zero, as in Zone (where) Enemy Receivers (get) Omitted. But he’s probably good to go for his career making No. 1 famous. Maybe someone like Chris Streveler, the way he eluded Jaguars defenders on QB keeps and draws in his only extended action with the Jets last season, would be interested. It would hint at “Now you see him, now you d-Oh-n’t.” But my choice for the first player in Jets history to wear 0 in a regular-season game will be newly signed WR Mecole Hardman Jr. He wore No. 4 at Georgia, then 17 with the Chiefs, so I don’t know if he has a type-0 personality, but maybe going from two digits to one on the front and back of his jersey will make him even faster than his 4.33 speed and niftier than his first four NFL seasons, when he posted the second-best YAC in the game (8.3 yards after each catch), leaving Chiefs fans and opponents alike, after one of his electric jet sweeps or returns, sounding like the late, great Dick Enberg :”Oh, my!”

CH: At the NFL League Meetings earlier this week the owners voted to allow players to wear No. 0. A lot of Jets players took to Twitter expressing their interest in the number. While Mekhi Becton was interested and I think it would be great to see an offensive lineman in a single digit, they are still required to wear Nos. 50-79. The other player in green and white I would love to see wearing the zero would be Bam Knight. While Knight wore No. 27 last season, I think switching his number in his second year would be perfect. He was thrown into the fire as an UDFA and exceeded all expectations his first season. In his second season, I see him taking on an even larger role in the RB group. If he were repping a new number while really taking off in the run game, it would a perfect combination.
