Why put the 87 jersey on bobo?

He has to catch the ball. I would put the 87 jersey on Choe Bryant-Strother (who is also #9 and is in the punt return team)

Also, instead of 87 (Craig Bragg, great Bruin), why not use 42 to remind everyone of Jackie Robinson?

What you said makes no sense.

Two players wear #9, Bobo and CBS.

Bobo is the punt returner. CBS is not.

So I think CBS should put on the 87 jersey so that the punt returner is not distracted with the putting on and taking off bullshiit

What's your point again?

We don't need a paper tear away jersey messing with our guy catching punts.

Do we see any other teams doing this?

There are only so many numbers for specific positions. Often there are more players than numbers.

Ok, I think I have an answer to...

... my own question.

CBS was one of the starting ILBs today.

If he's on the field on 3rd down, you don't want him running over to the sideline to put on the cover. There could be all sorts of problems with that.
