The New England Patriots are officially 44 days away from opening up their 2023 season at home against the Philadelphia Eagles. So we’re continuing our countdown series today by listing every Patriots player that has ever worn the No. 44 jersey.
Raleigh Webb currently wears the number for the Patriots.
The former undrafted wideout from The Citadel joined the team after initially signing with the Baltimore Ravens last year. He contributed mostly on special teams for New England, who had him in on 49 percent of their special teams snaps in only 10 regular season appearances.
