Question
I noticed that Bush, Tomlinson and Larry Johnson all wore number 5 in college. Traditionally, this is not a popular running back number. Have other current stars wore number 5 in college?
Steve, hello!
I think of Paul Hornung wearing #5 and go blank! I was in class this week and have not answered emails until today, but will see if I can research your inquiry. Going to someplace like NCAA.com or DivIFootball may give us the answer.
Have a great day!
