why does devin brown wear 33

Devin Brown wears the number 33 in honor of Sammy Baugh, a legendary quarterback in the Pro and College Football Hall of Fame. Brown's father told him stories about Baugh, who was the MVP of the first Cotton Bowl and wore number 33 during his NFL career with Washington. Brown started wearing number 33 when he was seven years old, calling it "the original quarterback number," and switched from his previous number 15 to 33 starting his second year at Ohio State to carry on that legacy and motivate himself.
