In only 38 days, the New England Patriots will be kick-starting their 2023 regular season schedule against the Philadelphia Eagles. So we’re continuing our countdown series by listing every Patriots player that has ever worn the No. 38 jersey.

The one player on this list that immediately comes to mind is the current owner of the number, running back Rhamondre Stevenson.

In only his third year in the league, Stevenson has gone from backing up Damien Harris to being one of the best offensive playmakers on the Patriots’ roster. He ran for 1,040 yards and five touchdowns, while also hauling in 69 receptions for 421 yards and one touchdown in 2022.

By the end of the 2023 season, he could be looked at as one of the best running backs in the NFL.

Roland James is also a name that comes to mind when remembering some of the former Patriots greats that wore No. 38. The All-1980s Team member left a mark on the organization that’s still remembered and cherished to this very day.

Let’s take a look at every player that has worn the No. 38 throughout franchise history (via Pro Football Reference).
