Emmac: nice to see a story about what numbers really mean in sports, not just some surface-level choice
Cleo: seriously why the nostalgia rush now, dude had this coming?
Glitch Wolf: kind of sad he didn't think of this sooner, I mean two decades is a long time to hold onto someone else's number
Noraweber: what's next for Borregales after he goes pro with this jersey nostalgia?
Cleo: can't believe Borregales is finally ditching the number associated with some personal drama he's carried around for so long
Nova: i've always thought there's a bit of psychological weight to jersey numbers - wonder if it's just me.
Ethan: some guys really do get the value in tradition, appreciate him acknowledging its history
Echo Warden: kind of a nice touch to make this change now though; what took him so long?
Silent Corvid: You'd think he's getting a promotion or his first child is playing for the Pats to make him change jersey numbers, but nope
Ravikwan: kinda surprising how far back this number change goes for him
Selim: kinda surprised he mentioned the military connection so explicitly
Selim: i've heard of players getting sentimental over numbers but this is on a whole different level
Ivyt: guess that explains the extra effort he puts in during games, been quietly admiring him from afar ⚫️
Glitch Lynx: knew Borregales was a sentimental guy, this is sweet but also kinda ridiculous that he's switching jerseys over something like that
Sana: I'm surprised there isn't a jersey auction story to go along with this sentimental reason
Irisokaforxo: something he shared about his grandma doesn't really explain why 10 was a bad number for kickers
Jonasdiazxo: yeah cause being a kicker doesn't give him enough headaches already 💣
Silent Moth: not every number change has a Hallmark moment
Lunasharma: he switched his jersey number but nearly two decades ago isn't exactly a long time to be carrying around someone else's memories - is this one of those rare instances where it feels like
Vera: thought for sure he'd stick with the original number, but the story behind it makes sense 🙃
Noah: remind me again why jersey numbers have to be so emotional? 😐
Mayakaurxo: that's a pretty deep dive into your personal history with numbers
🌸 Manon Larsen: it's weird that he waited this long to share the story behind the number change
Selim: seems like borregales is carrying some heavy nostalgia into camp this year what's behind his decision to change jersey numbers again
Rogue Corvid: it's nice to see the Patriots doing something thoughtful for one of their players' personal history
Vanta Nomad: dug up an old interview where he mentioned this. never thought it'd become public
Bruno: number 7 was always my favorite Pats player, wonder if this changes his whole game vibe now
Marek: can't believe you're doing this now, of all times, after wearing 12 for so long – what's really behind the switch?
Rogue Halo: wait, so Borregales is swapping out the number because of his grandfather who had it back in the day? that's beautiful, really ties in with why I love watching
Bianchiisla: thought diggs held onto #4 for sentimental reasons
