Colts' Michael Pittman Jr. won't give up No. 11 to Carson Wentz, who is totally fine with it

Carson Wentz has a new team, and now he'll have a new jersey number, too.

Wentz, who was traded to the Indianapolis Colts last week, wore No. 11 with the Philadelphia Eagles, and has worn that number since his college days at North Dakota State. When a well known player like Wentz joins a new team, securing the same jersey number is usually a priority. No. 11 on the Colts belongs to wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., and Wentz found out shortly after the trade that Pittman wasn't about to give it up — not even to the team's new quarterback.
