49ers WR Braylon Edwards Doesn't Want To Be "The Next T.O."

New 49ers WR Braylon Edwards has worn No. 17 his entire six-year NFL career. So he balked when San Francisco initially issued him jersey No. 81, made famous/infamous at Candlestick by Terrell Owens. "Listen here, that number is temporary," Edwards said Thursday night. "Seventeen is being used right now, and I'm trying to figure out how that's going to work for the season. But 81 is temporary, and I'm trying to look for a new number. "I'm not trying to be known as the next him or anything related to him, and maybe not even 17. Maybe a fresh start means a fresh number, so 81 is temporary. And when the time is right, I'll find the number that I'll be wearing."

Don't worry, Braylon. You could never be T.O., on or off the field. Ever.

 

Especially on the field.

 

Braylon Edwards choosing a number is actually a story?

Who gives a heck? Really...the USA Today needs to fire someone for not hitting their quota...

 

he wished he could be TO

 

Lol, Ward. It's better than "source saying the lockout will end in 23 minutes, 52 seconds" right?

Braylon..and TO? Really?

 

actually it's not choosing a number that's the story, it's the "I don't want to be looked at as trying to be T.O."

 

Well at least he knows that he's not good.

 

Sweets, I know you are happy about this signing. I remember that you wanted him in 2005.

 

You don't say Braylon, you don't say...
