A post by @Wes Mitchell inspired me to do a "Top 3" by Jersey #
** Some of these players wore multiple numbers so I placed them in spots that would make for the "best" list. For example Ace Sanders and Ira Hillary both wore #1 but with Alshon, Deebo and Captain all wearing that same number it made for a more extensive list of our best players to put Ace as #9 and Ira Hillary as #48 because those are numbers with less "talent". So yes, I know Boo Williams wore #4 most of his career, but there were other #4's that were better so I put him on the list for #26 which he wore his freshman year. There are a few examples like this on my list
So here we go:
1 - Alshon Jeffery (WR) / Deebo Samuel (WR) / Captain Munnerlyn (CB)
