What jersey # should be retired league wide in the NFL?

[BonafideDefacto]

It would literally take a Mt Rushmore type player to suddenly die early for them to retire a number and I literally mean a top three player of alltime

Probably Jerry Rice but knowing him, he probably ask them to not do it.

 

[KevCo]

12

 

[Mandizi]

I agree with Jim Brown.

 

[Dipsey Doo]

Fritz Pollard

 

[El Guapo]

OJ

The consensus GOAT, most winningest player in football, face of the league and hasn't had any non-football related scandals I can recall. Will be talked about long after he's done. He damn near should be inducted into the HOF as an activd player. We likely won't see anything like him again as much as I hate to say it.

Ok i can see that but maybe down the line. Jim Brown has to be the 1st. Jim Brown impact was cultural hes last OG basically. Brady changed the game and you have great points.

12 for Bradshaw

Fritz Pollard

Totally slipped my mind I think of him more as a coach.

 

[Optimus Prime]

NFL retiring Brady's number after punishing him for cheating multiple times (including a couple of weeks ago!) would be bonkers

The NFL doesn't have a Jackie Robinson or Bill Russell type figure.

A jersey number isn't getting retired league wide based on what happens on the field.

Anyone saying Jim Brown might want to look into his off the field history.

Jim Brown or LT. Mayyyyybe Rice.

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw niiggas mentioning Jim Brown. Goodell don't wanna have to answer all them questions about domestic abuse if they was to do that

Nobody remembers Jim Brown accusations. You dig deep enough everyone has skeletons.

 

[Armchair Militant]

You Brady dikkriders are crazy
