Question
Who's the only player who has his jersey number retired by a team, despite playing only one season for that team? Said player wore No. 31. Hint: This is not a player who's career was cut short by injury or illness; this man is still alive today.
There are two notable NFL teams involved in this question, and they've both won Super Bowls in the last 10 years.
Answer
Jim Taylor, by the Saints. Taylor spent most of his career with the Packers but played his college ball at nearby Lousiana State (helping his popularity in the area). The Saints also retired Doug Atkins' number; he spent 12 seasons with the Bears and played for New Orleans for only the last three years of his career.
