Give Tampa Bay TE Jordan Leggett for trying to keep No. 87

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Jordan Leggett wore No. 87 … until Tuesday.

The TE who played college ball at Clemson and has all of 14 catches in 2018 as a New York Jet to speak for his NFL career was quick to try and make a deal with Rob Gronkowski for No. 87.

Leggett tweeted, tongue firmly in cheek:

Hey @RobGronkowski I’ll give you #87 for 1 million. 🤣

— Jordan Leggett (@JordanLeggett16) April 21, 2020

Leggett was quick to greet his fellow tight end and also showed he has a grasp on reality.

Welcome to Tampa bro!@RobGronkowski

— Jordan Leggett (@JordanLeggett16) April 21, 2020

When it’s all said and done I’ll probably have to pay Gronk to take my number…

— Jordan Leggett (@JordanLeggett16) April 21, 2020

The Bucs took the mystery out of the numbers game … instantly. They assigned Leggett No. 81 while giving Gronkowski the No. 87 he wore while starring for the Patriots.
