The New England Patriots have reached the Day 47 mark in the countdown to their regular season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 10.
So we’re continuing our ongoing series by listing every Patriots player that has ever worn the No. 47.
Fullback Jakob Johnson was the last player on the team to wear the number. The present-day NFL has nearly done away with the fullback position altogether, but Johnson found success as one of the few remaining throwbacks in the league.
He left the Patriots back in 2022 to reunite with former offensive coordinator and now Las Vegas Raiders coach, Josh McDaniels. There are at least 14 other players that precede Johnson on this list.
Here’s every Patriots player that has ever worn the No. 47 throughout franchise history (via Pro Football Reference):
