Cornerback Quincy Wilson said it takes a while to put your mark on a number.


Wilson wore number 6 in college and 26 in high school. Coming up with his NFL number was a process.

But then I was like, '31?’ He was like, ‘Let me get back to you.’ I guess someone else had it or something, but I ended up getting 31.”
