Charlie McAvoy shared the story behind choosing his jersey number, 73, during a town hall with Bruins season ticket holders. When he played in Providence, he was assigned the number 43.
In fact, between numbers 70 and 88, only one player, Dennis Rodman, has worn a jersey within that range. Rodman was No. 73 for Los Angeles in 1999.
This is where Hurts’ number comes into play. Of the 20 available jersey numbers for quarterbacks, only five have yet to be worn by the winning QB in the Super Bowl: Nos. 0, 1, 2, 6 and 19.
