There may be a battle brewing in the San Francisco 49ers locker room. No, it's not a battle for a roster spot. It's a battle for a jersey number.
Apparently, both Kendrick Bourne and rookie Brandon Aiyuk may be eying the same jersey number for the 2020 season -- you know, whenever and however that begins.
The number they both seem to desire is the one that has been worn the past three years by wide receiver Marquise Goodwin, who on Saturday was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Bourne asked the following via Twitter over the weekend.
Could they both be gunning for the same number? We'll have to wait and see.
Personally, I like (or have gotten used to) seeing Bourne in No. 84. Although, anything beats seeing him wear No. 6 during his rookie offseason. That just didn't seem fitting for a receiver. Bourne did wear No. 11 in college at Eastern Washington.
