Here are the rest of the new numbers, as announced in Tuesday’s video.
K.J. Osborn: 2, Demario Douglas: 3, Jacoby Brissett: 14, Sione Takitaki: 16, Antonio Gibson: 21, Jaylinn Hawkins: 32, Nick Leverett: 51, Michael Jordan: 74, Chukwuma Okorafor: 77, Austin Hooper: 81, Kawaan Baker: 86 and Armon Watts: 94.
Gonzalez and Douglas are the only number switches announced. The rest of the players listed above are newcomers to the Patriots.
Gonzalez wore No. 0 in college at Oregon. He wore No. 19 last summer during the preseason before switching to No. 6 during the regular season.
The 2023 first-round pick showed star potential before suffering a season-ending torn labrum in Week 4. Internally, the team is high on Gonzalez for Year 2.
