Michael Pittman Jr. Explains Why He Won't Give His No. 11 Jersey to Carson Wentz

Michael Pittman Jr. said he's excited to have Carson Wentz as the Colts' new quarterback, but not enough to give up his No. 11 jersey.

Pittman Jr., a wide receiver who just finished his rookie year, told TMZ that he spoke to Wentz just three hours after the quarterback was traded by the Eagles and Wentz asked him how invested he was in his jersey number.

"I spoke to him, and he was just seeing, like, how locked in I was to 11, and I told him that I was locked in," Pittman Jr. said.
