Jersey numbers for the new members of the Minnesota Vikings have been announced including those for Sheldon Richardson and Kendall Wright.The #93 jersey is a big one as far as the history of the franchise. It was worn by Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive lineman John Randle as well as longtime defensive tackle Kevin Williams. Now, another big, disrupting body will be wearing that jersey since Sheldon Richardson has chosen that number.
Finally, and most interestingly, wide receiver Kendall Wright will be wearing the #17 jersey for Minnesota. That means fans who purchased a Jarius Wright jersey in the past won’t have to make a single adjustment to to their fan apparel since Jarius wore that number during his previous seasons with the team.

Sheez, the team now can't even afford the new guys their own jersies?  Looks like the Cousins signing has the team in full "hand-me-down" mode. I wonder if Sheldon will have to change is last name to "Williams" as part of the deal?  :p
