Ranking the Saints draft picks odds of success, based off jersey number

The New Orleans Saints rookie draft picks chose their jersey numbers. Cesar Ruiz setthimself up for success while Zack Baun almost fumbled.

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.
