ESPN spent months putting together that list of the best players by jersey number and I guarantee you they had to scramble when they got to TCU. Probably sat there staring at the screen going "who wore number 10 for the Horned Frogs?" like we have not been producing NFL talent since the days of the old Southwest Conference. That list is nothing but a popularity contest for the blue bloods and the flavor of the month programs. I remember when we had guys like LaDainian Tomlinson wearing 5 and nobody outside of Fort Worth knew who he was until he started running over people in the NFL. The NIL era has made everything about brand recognition and flash over substance. Kids today care more about their jersey number being marketable than what it represents. That list will never include the walk ons and the grinder s who built this program from the ground up.
