The New England Patriots assigned their rookie draft class jersey numbers on Tuesday afternoon and as ESPN's Mike Reiss pointed out, second-round pick TreVeyon Henderson will be wearing No. 32—the same digits as longtime captain Devin McCourty.
Aside from Tom Brady's No. 12 jersey, which was retired last offseason at ceremony inside Gillette Stadium, New England has continued to keep some pretty prominent digits—a la Rob Gronkowski's No. 87 and Julian Edelman's No. 11—in rotation, so McCourty certainly shouldn't feel slighted.
