- Broncos RB RJ Harvey hints at number change
When Denver Broncos rookies picked their jersey numbers earlier this month, running back RJ Harvey landed on No. 37. It seems safe to assume that won't be his number when the regular season arrives.
During an interview with Meghan Payton (Sean Payton's daughter) at the NFLPA's Rookie Premiere last week, Harvey indicated that he hopes to secure a single-digit number with the Broncos . Meghan mentioned No. 4, then Harvey suggested No. 5, which currently belongs to wide receiver Trent Sherfield .

This week, after the UCF Knights posted a mural on their Instagram story showing Harvey wearing No. 37 in a Denver uniform, the running back responded on his own Instagram story with the caption: "Shoulda waited."
Sherfield has never worn No. 5 in the NFL, so he might not have a special attachment to it. The veteran receiver previously wore Nos. 16 (twice), 81, 14 and 11 before landing with the Broncos this offseason. We'll see if Harvey is able to strike a deal with his new teammate for No. 5 ahead of organized team activities next week.
