Colt Brennan #15 to #5 to #15

Colt Brennan talks to Matt Terl of the Redskins Blog about losing his number twice.

So I caught up with Brennan after McNabb finished his photo shoot to see if it was weird for him. His short answer was no -- "I've seen Donovan McNabb wear 5 for a long time," he said, "so it really wasn't weird. Just the colors were different." -- but his longer answer was an interesting story about a guy who has now managed to lose his number, make a new number his own, lose that number all over again, all without any staggering cash payments or similar number-change gifts.

"To be honest with you," Brennan explains, "my number's always been 15. When I came into the league, though, I wasn't in a position to try to pay [then-backup QB] Todd Collins for the number, so I started off with 5. I thought it was a good number, I liked the number, so I took it."
