twitter. com/riC3xoko6U — Los Angeles Chargers (@chargers) April 30, 2026 Best Number: OT Travis Burke Double numbers are always the best-looking, in my opinion. I think 77 is the best offensive lineman number with Jake Slaughter and 66 being a close second.
Add in that a 6’9 guy is going to wear 77 and it’s just that much better. Here’s to hoping Burke and his nasty play demeanor meet the number’s expectations. Worst Number: WR Brenen Thompson Ever since skill positions players were given the ability to wear single-digit numbers, that’s always been my preference.
Receivers who still wear numbers in the 80s just looks too dated now. Wear something in the teens or single digits and let’s leave the 80s to the backups on the team. Thompson is too faced and should be featured enough that we have to get this guy a better number.
