“Fuck no. I don’t ever need to see no one else in it.”
When the Washington Redskins signed former New York Giants security Landon Collins this f-season, workforce proprietor Dan Snyder gave Collins a game-worn, autographed Sean Taylor jersey.
Collins, who wears #21 in honor his idol, stated it could be an honor to be the primary Redskins participant to put on the #21 since Taylor handed away in 2007, as long as Taylor’s household was cool with it.
If the choice was as much as Taylor’s former teammate Clinton Portis, the reply can be easy: “Fuck no.”
The Athletic’s Rhiannon Walker lately spoke with Portis, who defined he does not need to see anybody carrying the #21 for the Redskins ever once more.
Per The Athletic:
“Fuck no,” Portis stated. “Fuck no. I don’t ever need to see no one else in it. When the scenario got here up for me with 26, I do not care. However 21, that’s sacred. Why even play with folks? Why even spark folks’s recollections? Retire that jersey. For a corporation that don’t retire jerseys or don’t ficially retire jerseys, you place that motherfucker within the rafters, you retire it, and also you be sure all people is aware of, that is irreplaceable.”

Portis added,
“I might positively by no means recover from seeing his jersey being worn, so I don’t even assume Landon ought to put that strain on himself. Have your admiration. Have your appreciation, and let it’s performed. It’s cool to admire, to like, to understand, to view somebody in that facet, however even if you happen to had the chance to put on No. 21, you shouldn’t do it. I keep in mind they requested me to put on 21 after Sean handed, and there was no method in hell I might put that strain on myself or play with followers to imagine that now we have an opportunity seeing 21 on this jersey once more.”
