Julian Edelman’s former New England Patriots digits stayed out of circulation in the initial year of his retirement.
A successor appears to have been found for 2022.
On Wednesday, DeVante Parker posted a photoshop to Instagram in No. 11, which drew the attention of the Super Bowl LIII MVP as well as new teammates, including fellow wideout Kendrick Bourne, defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. and linebacker Mack Wilson.
Parker, 29, had donned No. 11 for seven seasons as a member of the Miami Dolphins.
