58 days till Patriots season opener: Every player to wear No. 58 for New England

Here’s a list of every Patriots player to wear the No. 58 jersey number

The countdown continues with the New England Patriots being 58 days away from their regular season opener on September 10.

We’re celebrating by listing every Patriots player that has ever worn the No. 58 jersey throughout franchise history.

Linebacker Anfernee Jennings was the last player to wear the numbers. The former Alabama standout came into the NFL with big shoes to fill considering he took over the number for former All-Pro linebacker Jamie Collins.

There’s no secret that the Patriots love their linebackers, and several that have come during and before the Bill Belichick era have impacted the team in big ways.

Some have even worn No. 58 on their jersey. Here’s every Patriots player that has worn those numbers (via Pro Football Reference):

Report: Patriots retain exclusive-rights free agent Keionta Davis

The Patriots re-signed OLB/EDGE Keionta Davis, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss. 

The New England Patriots re-signed outside linebacker/edge rusher Keionta Davis, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss.

Davis, 26, joined New England as an undrafted rookie in 2017 and has only played in six games since. He missed his entire rookie season on the non-football injury list, eventually finding out there was a bulging disc in his neck. He saw limited action in 2018 and then made his way back to the injured reserve list for the 2019 season.

The Patriots lost Kyle Van Noy and Jamie Collins so far due to free agency, with Elandon Roberts and Shilique Calhoun hitting the market as well. If healthy, Davis would provide a little more depth, but the Patriots have a ton of work to do in the linebacker department.
