Indianapolis Colts fans watched an unfamiliar sight recently when brand-new quarterback (and veteran) Carson Wentz seemingly deferred to second-year wideout Michael Pittman Jr.’s demands about his jersey number.
Though Wentz is hardly a hardened, ages-old vet, the whole thing still seemed odd to us, mostly because of the framing (eg, Pittman’s refusal rather than some sort of agreement).
