Not too long ago, the folks over at Mitchell and Ness created a graphic of the best NBA player for every jersey number, from 00 to 99. Now that the NFL season to set to kick off tonight as the New England Patriots take on the Pittsburgh Steelers (you can read our preview here), they followed it with an equally awesome list of the best NFL player for every jersey number.
To say it’s pretty sweet is an understatement…
For those of you who aren’t sure, here are the players for the jerseys without numbers on the back:
0: Chicago Cardinals RB Johnny Olszewski
11: Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Rams QB Norm Van Brocklin
15: Green Bay Packers QB Bart Starr
37: Detroit Lions RB Doak Walker
49: Washington Redskins RB Bobby Mitchell
66: Green Bay Packers LB Ray Nitschke
89: Chicago Bears TE Mike Ditka
