41 days till Patriots season opener: Every player to wear No. 41 for New England

Here’s a list of every Patriots player to wear the No. 41 jersey number

The New England Patriots are officially 41 days away from the start of their 2023 regular season. So we’re continuing our countdown series today by listing every Patriots player that has ever worn the No. 41 jersey.

Patriots defensive back and burgeoning special teamer Brenden Schooler currently wears the number. It could soon become a jersey number that grows in popularity as he continues to find success within the organization.

Schooler, who is entering his second year, received high praise late last season from special teams legend Matthew Slater, who believed he was playing at a Pro Bowl level.

There have been a total of 20 players associated with the No. 41 throughout Patriots’ franchise history. Let’s take a look at every player that has worn the number.

Patriots sign DB Lenzy Pipkins

He joins a deep group of cornerbacks.

The New England Patriots have signed defensive back Lenzy Pipkins, the team announced on Tuesday. The 26-year-old cornerback has played for four NFL teams: the Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, Detroit Lions and, most recently, the Cleveland Browns.

Pipkins went undrafted in 2017 after playing college at Oklahoma State. In his rookie season with the Packers, he played in 12 games with one start while logging 17 tackles and a pass breakup. He was on and off the Colts practice squad and 53-man roster in 2018 before bouncing from the Detroit Lions to the Cleveland Browns to finish that season. He was not on an NFL roster for the 2019 regular season after spending training camp in Cleveland.

He joins a deep group of cornerbacks, including Stephon Gilmore, Jason McCourty, J.C. Jackson, Joejuan Williams and Jonathan Jones, among others.
