48 days till Patriots season opener: Every player to wear No. 48 for New England

Here’s a list of every Patriots player to wear the No. 48 jersey number

Another week is in the rearview, and the New England Patriots are now officially 48 days from the start of their 2023 regular season opener.

So we’re continuing our ongoing countdown series by listing every Patriots player that has ever worn a No. 48 jersey.

The number currently belongs to rising linebacker Jahlani Tavai, who started to emerge as a real difference-maker for the team last season. That effort earned the former second-round draft pick a two-year contract extension last year.

Former Patriots linebacker Harvey Langi wore No. 48 before Tavai took up the mantle in 2021. There have been a total of 14 players that have ever worn the number throughout franchise history.

Here’s a full list of those players (via Pro Football Reference)

Ohio State football ‘Face of the Position’: What safety do you think of? Vote!

Which player in the entire history of Ohio State football do you think of when you think about safety. #GoBucks

We’re beginning to gear up for the football season here at Buckeyes Wire, and we’ve been going through a series over the past year of identifying the face of each position in OSU football history.

It’s aptly named, the “Face of the Position,” and it’s really exactly as it sounds. When you think of a position group at Ohio State, who do you think of? From quarterback to linebacker to placekicker and beyond, OSU has some of the most iconic and historical college football players that have taken their place among the best in the game.

However, one player stands out above all else when you shroud them behind the colors of scarlet and gray, and that’s where we are going to ask for your assistance.

We’ve already looked at the quarterback position, running backs, wide receivers, offensive linemen, tight ends, and defensive tackles. It’s now time to move to continue the look by nominating four safeties for you to choose from while asking you to vote on the winner via a Twitter poll.

We’ll keep voting up for five days, and at the end of it, we’ll reveal the winner of each when the series is complete. Make sure you scroll to the bottom to cast your vote from the nominees in a Twitter poll and feel free to write in a candidate if you think of another player.
