Carson Wentz the no. 11 in the state of North Dakota. He also wore it in his five seasons with the Eagles.
But he will apparently have to pick a new number at the Colts in 2021.
Indianapolis wide receiver, Michael Pittman Jr., has no. 11 as a rookie in 2020 and he has no plans to give it up in 2021 and tells TMZ Sports: ‘I am no. 11 ‘and’ I do not think there is an agreement that is going to be finished. ”
But there are apparently no hard feelings between the wide receiver and his new QB.
‘I talked to [Carson] and he only saw how I was locked up in no. 11, and I told him I was locked up – and he was like, ‘That’s cool, bro, because I’m probably going to switch anyway,’ ‘Pittman said. “He asked me very respectfully and I just appreciated him for that. I think he’s a big guy because a lot of guys with his status, they’ll come in and demand and stuff like that. ‘
During his rookie season, Pittman caught 40 passes for 503 yards with a knockout in 13 games. He added that he is looking forward to succeeding with Wentz to get the pace of his team’s new quarterback.
The deal that Wentz is sending from Philadelphia to Indianapolis will be official at the start of the new league year on March 17th.
