3. Tommy Stevens, No. 2
This is a fine number for a quarterback. At least it’s a single-digit, which is sleek and closer to the cutting-edge of NFL aesthetics than a bulky number in the teens. A quarterback wearing No. 2 feels like he’s liable to take off into the open field at any time, or catch a touchdown pass off of a trick play in a critical moment.
Stevens wore No. 2 during his time at Penn State — switching to No. 7 once he transferred to Mississippi State, in tribute to his idol-turned-teammate Taysom Hill — so it’s cool to see him stick with something he’s familiar with.
And he’s certainly the best quarterback that wears No. 2 in the NFC South. Time to switch it up, Matt Ryan. You had a good run.
