Today when the Green Bay Packers opened their rookie mini camp, they announced the numbers of the players.

No.	Name	Pos.	Ht.	Wt.	Age	College
23	Damarious Randall	CB	5-11	196	22	Arizona State
24	Quinten Rollins	CB	5-11	195	22	Miami (Ohio
88	Ty Montgomery	WR	6-0	216	22	Stanford
47	Jake Ryan	LB	6-2	240	22	Michigan
7	Brett Hundley	QB	6-3	226	21	UCLA
22	Aaron Ripkowski	FB	6-1	246	22	Oklahoma
77	Christian Ringo	DT	6-1	298	23	Louisiana-Lafayette
86	Kennard Backman	TE	6-3	245	22	UAB

There is only one strange thing about that. Quinten Rollins the teams second round pick was given the number 24, that has been worn by veteran corner Jarrett Bush for years now. Is the team sending a message to Bush the veteran defensive back/special team ace saying thanks but no thanks?

Bush is heading into his 10th season after joining the team in 2006 off the waivers from the Panthers. He is the teams special teams ace, so this is a bit surprising.
