Patriots LB Marte Mapu Drops Jersey Number Change for 2024

After taking on his rookie season rocking the number 30, New England Patriots second-year linebacker Marte Mapu will be changing his number to 15 ahead of the 2024 NFL season, first reported by Mike Kadlick on X. Mapu will return to the number he wore during his college days at Sacramento State. The last Patriots player to wear 15 was none other than running back Ezekiel Elliott last season, who has since taken his talents back to the Dallas Cowboys for the coming year.
