43 days till Patriots season opener: Every player to wear No. 43 for New England

Here’s a list of every Patriots player to wear the No. 43 jersey number

There are officially 43 days left before the New England Patriots’ 2023 regular season opener on September 10. So we’re continuing our countdown series by listing every Patriots player that has ever worn the No. 43.

Linebacker Calvin Munson gets the first mention here since he’s the current owner of the jersey number. The special-teamer is in his third year with the Patriots and the 10th player on this list.

One of the true standouts, however, was longtime Patriots defensive back Nate Ebner. The former All-Pro special-teamer won three Super Bowls in his eight-year run in New England.

Here’s every Patriots player that has ever worn the No. 43 throughout franchise history (via Pro Football Reference):

ChatGPT ranks top 10 running backs in Notre Dame history

How do you feel about this list?

We recently put AI writing tool ChatGPT to the test and had it list what it believed was Notre Dame’s top 10 quarterbacks. The list surely caused some debate for some readers, but guess what? We’re going to cause you to think again by having it generate its list of the top 10 running backs in program history.

Some of you might disagree with what ChatGPT says, and others might even say the list is too short. However, the point of this is to make you think and spark discussion. Also, even though ChatGPT has not been updated since September 2021, it’s a safe assumption that no one on the Irish since then has played well enough to have a place on this list with the possible exception of [autotag]Kyren Williams[/autotag]. Just out of curiosity though, would you include him?

Anyway, without further adieu, here’s the list with ChatGPT’s descriptions of each player. Some entries have been edited for clarity and updates:

Notre Dame football all-time single game rushing leaders

Who was the best of this bunch?

Notre Dame might not be known as “Running Back U” but that doesn’t mean the Fighting Irish haven’t had their fair share of elite runners over the years.  And those elite runners have had some pretty elite performances, but which Notre Dame running backs had the biggest days of all-time?

We’ve previously looked at the single game passing records for Notre Dame quarterbacks and found that throwing for a ton of yards often doesn’t mean good things for the team.  How does that compare to running the ball extremely well on a given Saturday?
