Former Florida Gators now Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder took to ESPN on Tuesday to clarify comments he made Sunday about “hypothetically” selling his jerseys while he played for the University of Florida from 2003-04.
“I have all four of them,” he said on SportsCenter, in reference to the home and road Gators jerseys he apparently possesses from the 2003 and 2004 seasons. “My momma has two of my jerseys on her wall in her house, and I have the other two in my house.”
“I was playing off the whole Terrelle Pryor thing when businessmen were buying his stuff,” Crowder clarified. “I was saying that, if somebody wanted to buy my jerseys while I was in school, why can’t I sell them because they’re my jerseys and have my name on the back? When I was at Florida, I made ’55’ a relevant jersey number at Florida, so why couldn’t I sell my jersey when I was there with my name on the back? That was the point.”
Crowder believes the rule on selling your jersey should be simple.
“It’s your possession,” he said. “They give it to you at the end of the year, so you should be able to sell it.”
